Package: xutils
Version: 1:7.3+11
Severity: wishlist
Dilemma:
# apt-get dist-upgrade
The following NEW packages will be installed:
xutils-dev
The following packages will be upgraded:
xutils
But I don't want xutils-dev. I don't use them.
# apt-get purge xutils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gsfonts-x11* t1-cyrillic* ttf-arhangai* ttf-arphic-bkai00mp* ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp* ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp*
ttf-arphic-gkai00mp* xpdf-chinese-simplified* xpdf-chinese-traditional* xutils*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 10 to remove and 21 not upgraded.
After this operation, 42.9MB disk space will be freed.
But I do want these.
So apparently the only choice is to file bugs on all the packages
depending on xutils, telling them to please depend on what part of the
now split up xutils they really need.
Perhaps the xutils maintainer would be a better person to file these
bugs, as he knows what the real issues are.
No package should depend on xutils anymore, even if they really need
all its components, I suppose.

We're already taking care of this. Please read the existing bugs and the
changelog instead of opening a new bug for everything.
