[Bug 1022232] [NEW] installing boinc-client requires too much dependencies

Public bug reported:

On a personal server with no X environment installed. I am wondering at
some of the dependencies of the boinc-client package. One in particular
that comes to mind is "bluetooth"... why is that a dependency? I can
understand the i386 libraries... it does however seem there are a quite
a few extra packages in there. Perhaps I am ignorant to some of the
needs of various projects out there. If that is the case... cool! Let me
know. Thank you.

Here is the search for boinc packages on "packages.ubuntu.com"
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=boinc&searchon=names&suite=precise&section=all

Here are the BOINC system requirements

The following is the full output of "apt-get install boinc-client" and
my abortion of the process.
