Ok, now bitchx depends on xutils, who in turn suggests xfree86-common, who in turn depends on libaxw and so on (THIS BOX HAS NO FSCKING X!!!). So I have a suggestion: why don't we make ALL libraries "required" and just install all of them as part of the base system? (Well, sans non-DFSG-compliant ones maybe.)
