For instance, I use samba, and smbmount, but almost never have occasion to use smbclient.
Consider: A network with a bunch of Win clients using samba for their file server (samba only) A network with mixed Linux and Win clients using samba for their file server (smbclient & samba) A network where samba is only used to back up Win clients (smbfs and samba) I'd be upset if Debian forced me to install all of them when I didn't need them all.
