Package: netselect Version: 0.3.ds1-14 Severity: important I read in the changelog for netselect 0.3.ds1-17: - netselect-apt: Add a Recommends on dpkg-dev since we use dpkg-architecture
As recommends are installed by default this means an explosion of installed size! see: $ aptitude show netselect | grep Size Uncompressed Size: 115 k compared to: # aptitude install dpkg-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: build-essential{a} [11.5] (for dpkg-dev) dpkg-dev [1.15.8.11] fakeroot{a} [1.14.4-1] (for dpkg-dev) g++{a} [4:4.4.5-1] (for dpkg-dev) g++-4.4{a} [4.4.5-8] (for dpkg-dev) libalgorithm-diff-perl{a} [1.19.02-2] (for dpkg-dev) libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl{a} [0.04-1] (for dpkg-dev) libalgorithm-merge-perl{a} [0.08-2] (for dpkg-dev) libstdc++6-4.4-dev{a} [4.4.5-8] (for dpkg-dev) make{a} [3.81-8] (for dpkg-dev) 0 packages upgraded, 10 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/8.436 kB of archives. After unpacking 26,2 MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] Installed size: 115k in squeeze, 26,4MB in wheezy!! I think this is wrong. At most a suggest is in place if at all. Please reconsider this change.
