Running some dependency analysis on Core yielded a few packages in the following groups. This isn't exhaustive, by any means; there are still quite a few leaf nodes that are potential Extras candidates. Library packages required only by Extras packages (could be moved to extras): libgconf-java libxml (and only required by the rather old Gtk-Perl) Library + binary packages required only by Extras packages (could be moved to extras): mikmod tog-pegasus inn Library packages required by *nothing* (could be killed): libpng10 liboldX libvolume_id Library + binary packages required by nothing (could be killed, or moved): linux-atm lksctp-tools mysqlclient10 mysqlclient14 netatalk openhpi tn5250 xdelta Opinions?
