Bug#515214: console-setup needs to be taken out and shot.

[sacrificial-spam-address@horizon.com]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.4+1

Just another voice who doesn't care for the amount of cruft that
hal and console-setup drag into my system.  The fact that console-setup
remaps the console fonts and doesn't even provide a way to set it back
to CP437 is particularly egregious.

I have, for now, simply edited /var/lib/dpkg/status and removed the
dependencies, but will have to remember how to satisfy a versioned
dependency with equivs.  (I think it can't be done with a *-dummy
package that Provides: the package.)


Installing hal and console-setup wants to drag in 9417 kB of cruft:

Although some of that is only Recommends: and can be removed, taking it
down to 7528k:

If we hold out some faint hope that bug #448197 will (after a year and
a half of inaction) be resolved by downgrading the pm-utils dependency
to a recommends, then that takes it down to 7135k.
