Let's ignore all the other stuff and focus on how to solve it.
I'm willing to assist when there are too big dependency chains. But, I
don't get why in a minimal install it installs "Suggests:"? I can
understand that it takes space on the DVD. But in a minimal install it
should ignore the Suggests, no?
I think we should have something which tracks these things
automatically.
Meaning:
- a way to see the dependency chains over time
(e.g. something which logs it per day)
- a way to see the size of various "targets" over time
(e.g. KDE, GNOME, XFCE, minimal)
- an email when the size changes compared to previous day
(e.g. new dependency, or maybe 100MB of documentation in some package)
