Is there any reason that cinnamon is a build dependency of other things?
If yes, is it that much of an issue that it drags many things when
building those other packages?
In all cases, one potential solution is to split the cinnamon binary
package in two:
cinnamon-core: would only contain the minimal stuff to build other
packages, with no big deps
cinnamon: would contain everything else, with the big deps
