The gnome destkop task includes gnome-btdownload, which depends on the
bittorrent package to use the python modules BitTorrent.download and
BitTorrent.bencode. Problem is that the bittorrent package also includes
an init script, which clutters up the boot process, even though it does
nothing by default. It would be nice if gnome-btdownload could depend
on the python modules w/o putting in this init script. Perhaps the
modules could be split out of the bittorrent package?
Honestly, I would prefer to just remove the init script and put it
into /usr/share/doc/bittorrent/examples or something. I have a sense
that at least 90% of bittorrent installs do not start the tracker, and
if they do, probably start it as non-root anyway - it is probably not
used enough to warrant continued existence in the boot process.
I'm averse to splitting the modules into their own package, leaving
two packages which are very small and have lots of overhead instead of
one.
