I don't think that this is useful as e.g. phrog needs the translations
from the phosh package so you really want that installed. Also the
overhead of the phosh package is minimal. (It's a bit like requesting
that gdm shouldn't depend on gnome-shell).

I guess what you *want* is not install the session scripts so the Phosh
session isn't available in phrog but at this point I'm just guessing.

Cheers,
