Greetings.


Hello,


Current *-devel packages tend to pull a lot of dependencies, probably to
make developers life easier, but I think some of them are not needed.

For example, someone developing against krb5-devel for a GSSAPI client,
probably doesn't need openssl-devel installed, that they are linking
against Kerberos doesn't means they use the same crypto library
directly, they could use nss for example.

Do you have better example?
krb5 internally links to openssl but krb5 consumers don't need to link
to openssl directly to use the crypto functionality provided by libkrb5.
