Given the details in which Daniel went with his reply, it would seem
adequate to me to get more detailed information about *why* this
behavior is intended, what to do about the apparently too large number
of required packages, and especially about "required" library
packages. If this behaviour is to be kept, it may be eg. that libary
packages should be forbidden as "required" (in which case this
bugreport should be reassigned to -policy) ?
The issue not being IMHO really over, I take the liberty of reopenning
this report, just to be sure the issue does not get forgotten.
