A quick quote from policy about Depends: The `Depends' field should be used if the depended-on package is required for the depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality.

I haven't been able to use xine for anything with only the depends installed. /Sune -- I cannot reset the POP3mail terminale of the forward from Office 5.6, how does it work?
