Additionally, I would like to see a new flag: 'never'. Dependency tracking should do its best to avoid these packages. (e.g., generally I want to add all Recommended packages, too -- but I don't want to draw in emacs, even if it is recommended by some tool I use) The problem is that dependency tracking in a system as big as debian is not that easy as it looks at first sight. And in the near future I don't have the time to think some more about such a feature. :( -- Martin Waitz
