-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Coreutils and Debianutils are recursively dependant, which prevents the
resinstallation of all packages installed on the system via e.g. Aptitude
because the interdependency cycle cannot be resolved in a way that would
reach a decision as to which package should be installed first.

So don't do that. Essential packages are special cases, and I'm not
interested in trying to address theoretical problem (especially when
doing so would create real bugs).
