This kind of thing pervades the KDE projects I've looked at. It seems
someone somewhere got carried away with deps, and everyone else is just
cut&pasting from his spec, since it never fails to install needed parts.
The fact that it also installs unneeded ones doesn't seem to bother a
lot of people.
I understand laziness. I don't make rpms cause I'm too lazy to figure
out the right way. But I also don't make bad rpms. And no, a bad rpm
is NOT better than none at all - just look at the newbie complaints on
#mandrake (irc.openprojects.net) for a day to see why.
