Yes, I see the logic and your point. And sorry for nitpicking, but I get nitpicked against when I try to integrate stuff. :-) I admit that I'm not sure what exactly is meant by dependency between packages, maybe there is a definition somewhere? But I think the focus is in technical dependency, not logical. E.g. I recently integrated pgBouncer (connection pooling for PostgreSQL clients), this tool makes no sense to use unless you have PostgreSQL available, but the package actually does *not* depend on any PostgreSQL packages. - Bjorn
