I am at a lenny box and cannot properly check now. If dependencies did
not change too much from lenny to squeeze, I think the final
recommends that is triggering the pull is that libhunspell-1.2-0
recommends (myspell-en | myspell dictionary)  and that  libaspell15
recomends (aspell-en|aspell dictionary).  What makes it loaded in
lenny is a dependency chain like

libnotify1 -> notification-daemon -> libsexy2 -> libenchant1c2a ->
(libaspell15,libhunspell-1.2-0)

I did not go above libnotify1 and did not look for recommends, so may
be other branches.  Will try next week in a real sid box.

Seems debian-edu-config dependencies/recommends what is pulling most.
They seem indeed much more than needed for debian-edu configuration.

Not now. I first have to check in a sid box and see. How is debian-edu
integrated into a normal installation? Is installed as a normal
package before tasksel is run?

As a matter of fact, that was already a no-op before lenny. Just
mentioned it because I do not know how debian-edu works, and wanted to
discard that ancient stuff fiddling around.
