We need to mark *-dev packages as optional, and ignore
dependency-only packages in the `optional' field.

Furthermore, make the output less confusing when there's neither
packages to install nor remove; and avoid invoking `apt-get install'
with an empty package list.

This also fixes an OpenBSD-specific regression from commit 82990fb72dac
which made package removal a no-op.

Fixes: 82990fb72dac (install/deps: flesh out libgit2, SQLite, and Xapian 
packages)
