This was already discussed in bug #328648 and #362769, where the kaffe 
maintainers say that kaffe is supposed to be a whole development kit.  I 
don't understand myself why they can't just make kaffe be a metapackage 
depending on everything, and still make it possible to install just the 
runtime if you really want.
