Version: 2.10.1-5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Can you try to extract modules, that have costly
dependencies into an extra package, that is Recommended by
this package?

Simple example:

	/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libsmb.so

seems to implement the smb vfs layer and uses libsmbclient.

I don't need smb in my gnome based apps. And I don't want
libsmbclient on my system.

Recommends would be the right thing, as it means "You
really should install it. If you don't install it, expect
missing features."

Here's a quick list of modules, that I'd move into such a
package:

libcdda.so
libsmb.so
libvfs-test.so (whatever that one is good for?)
