+Not really. If you select a minimal install no suggests should be
+installed.
+
+However, seems that in almost every install seahorse might be installed
+(tv saying that we go from something like glib -> gio -> .. ->
+seahorse). Almost every install might have glib going to seahorse. That
+bit is the concern. I don't care about minimal; in a minimal, it just
+should not install suggests and I really don't care if that currently
+works in the installer or not.
+Currently almost every install might end up having gnome-keyring. Even
+if often it isn't used. That's a concern.
+
+Around GNOME 3.6 gnome-keyring will be replaced with libsecret. So
+although gnomekeyring->seahorse currently makes sense, in future we'd
+need to do things differently anyway.
+
+So, yeah, move the suggests and remove totem-mozilla from CAT_KDE. But
+not because of the minimal install.
+
+This might result in some users not having seahorse anymore though.
