If you don't want all the features, then don't install that
package, pick the minimal install instead

If you feel that the various libvirt-daemon-$hypervisor packages need
to keep providing the same exact functionality over time, then yes,
we can't drop or downgrade any of the dependencies. But, at the same
time, we're potentially breaking consumers by taking away libvirtd...
Where the functionality still exists, the packages should continue
to provide it. The case of libvirtd is a bit special, as we're in
the process of phasing out its existance. That's not the cae for
virtlockd.
Okay, the fact that we're explicitly documenting these packages as
the "every possible feature for the driver" option means that I have
no choice but to agree with you :)
Jim, can you please respin while reverting these changes that I had
suggested? Sorry :(
No problem, will send a V7. BTW, what is the list preference for suppresscc?
I've been meaning to ask that after the past several versions, as I watch git
send-email spam the R-B. My global .gitconfig only suppresses 'self'.
Regards,
Jim
