If we look at what's happening here, then the two applications in
question that are showing up are both from the log4j package which is a
dependency of (among others) apache-commons-logging which is a
dependency of some other stuff which is a dependency of some other stuff
which are dependencies of LibreOffice which is a dependency of unoconv.

I suggest the best place to solve this is in the *log4j* package and
split that into two subpackages, one for the .jar (and whatever it needs
to do it's work) on the assumption that that's the piece the dependents
actually need, and another subpackage for the inspection/management
graphical utilities.

caolanm->sochotni: Is it possible to split log4j like that ?
