It seems to stem from libguestfs0 having Depends: on a very large number of
packages (see below)
Surely it would be an improvement to simply make most of the -tools type
packages (as opposed to libs) be Recommended:, then those of us who know what
we want can simply choose to ignore that recommendation.
Also, surely this should not depend on a specific editor such as 'vim-tiny'?
