I admit, I didn't look at the packages, I'm just tossing around some thoughts... What would really help Debian is having s small subset of packages which are needed for docbook stuff and the like. A build-dependency (for mere documentation purposes of a random software) should pull as few an little packages as possible to keep the autobuilders from too much unneccessary work. But (again, without really looking at the packages) I doubt we can achieve that by splitting up the binaries... If possible I'll have a closer look at the packages tonight. Hauke
