Bug#730332: Please decouple boinc-manager from boinc-client

[Ken Sharp]

Package: boinc-manager
Severity: wishlist
Version: 7.2.28+dfsg-1
Control: found -1 7.0.24+dfsg-1
Control: found -1 7.0.27+dfsg-5

I would like to use boinc-manager without there being a need to install 
boinc-client.

It doesn't take too much of a stretch of the imagination to see that 
some users might want to control clients on other machines without the 
need to install the client on the machine they are using. It is a waste 
of space and requires additional steps to disable the client. This 
becomes a particular concern on small devices such as low-end mobile phones.

It kind of defeats the point of having a boinc-manager package if it 
needs to pull boinc-client anyway. The two are usually updated together 
upstream.
