Package: gparted
Version: 0.3.8-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

In my mini system, I want as minimum packages installed as
possible, yet gparted is too good to omit. However, when I tried to
install it:

 $ aptitude install gparted
 Reading package lists... Done

 The following NEW packages will be installed:
   busybox{a} dbus{a} dbus-x11{a} gparted hal{a} hal-info{a} 
   initramfs-tools{a} klibc-utils{a} libcairomm-1.0-1{a} libdbus-glib-1-2{a} 
   libdirectfb-extra{a} libglibmm-2.4-1c2a{a} libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a{a} 
   libhal-storage1{a} libklibc{a} libparted1.8-10{a} libsmbios-bin{a} 
   libsmbios2{a} libsplashy1{a} pm-utils{a} powermgmt-base{a} radeontool{a} 
   uswsusp{a} vbetool{a} 
 0 packages upgraded, 24 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.
 Need to get 4758kB/5321kB of archives. After unpacking 15.0MB will be used.

Are all above dependencies really necessary? To me, I don't think I
need packages like busybox dbus dbus-x11 powermgmt-base radeontool
uswsusp vbetool etc just in order to use gparted. 

Can we make all those unnecessary "Depends" as "Suggests"? 

Thanks
