I'm using the kotlin package since I wanted to use the kotlinc compiler,

Thank you for reporting this issue. These dependencies were added
because the package contains an Ant task and a Maven plugin. However Ant
is a a runtime for the task and shouldn't be specified in the
dependencies, and the Maven plugin should be moved into it own package.
I'm not using ant or maven, so this install (through transitive
dependencies) over 300 MB of unnecessary data:

That's odd because in sid installing these 4 packages requires 229 MB of
disk space, or only 26 MB if Java is already installed.
