Currently on Debian/testing, freeradius (the base package) has:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), libgdbmg1, libltdl3 (>= 1.4.3-1), libpam0g (>= 0.76),
libsnmp4.2, libssl0.9.7
(My build splits freeradius-iodbc out, but otherwise it would be there.)
And I currently intend to find a way to get rid of libssl (which
also implies splitting snmp out since it depends on libssl) in
case it is deemed neccessary due to libssl/GPL licensing issues
which I still don't have my head around. (From memory, rlm_x99_token
is what's pulling libssl into the main package.) Of course, this
is hard since libsnmp-0.4.2.so is pulled in by the main binary...
(On looking, rlm_eap_tls also pulls in libssl. rlm_x99_token pulls
in libcrypto.) So I guess that's unlikely to happen. :-)

Sounds good to me. The patch I posted could go into 0.9.0, but I
guess it's not urgent since Debian/unstable and Debian/testing's
version(s) of libiodbc2 don't pull in xlibs.

Package: libiodbc2
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4), xlibs (>>
4.1.0)
/usr/bin/iodbcadm-gtk I expect. Presumably split out post-release.
