This leaves the last question: what are the actual savings achieved? How much disk space is saved? Does this avoid pulling in other dependencies? The patch doesn't adjust runtime dependencies (e.g. util-linux items), so the savings must be very minimal. Is it only about avoiding files which are not needed? There's a trade-off between not having unnecessary files and increased complexity of packaging, which carries a maintenance burden. This patch is probably okay, as it's for a self-contained, rarely changed recipe that only installs local files, it just needs to be justified a bit better. Alex
