I guess. I still suspect something's wonky in the package system.
Eg., "aptitude show debsecan":
Recommends: cron, exim4 | mail-transport-agent
Shouldn't all this printer related stuff have something like that
mail-transport-agent target, but for printing? I suspect this is why
all the warfare between cupsys and its alternatives is happening.
While we're at it, maybe we (well, I) need null-gnome, null-kde, ...
placeholder targets to fool them into thinking they're there when
they're not. If null-gnome is provided by fluxbox or xserver-xorg,
there'd be no need for a relationship between (eg.) xscreensaver and
gnome, et al.

He must be on the Communist Broadcorping Castration network. It and I
manage to avoid each other, mostly. How 'bout you? Cheering for
Paris Hilton? :-P
