Package: debian-policy Version: 4.1.4.1 Severity: minor I did this, with recommends enabled, in a bare-ish sid shroot, and it installed python-numpy (wtf!) libavahi-common3 (libavahi:amd64 is sadly to be expected) python-gtk2 (for gui applications?) hicolor-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme (_two_ themes?)
I think this is almost certainly the result of Recommends bloat in some other packages. (There was also an *enormous* pile of fonts and document processing tools etc., which is expected, I guess, although I do wonder what proportion of all that is used.)

If I emailed you from an address @fyvzl.net or @evade.org.uk, that is a private address which bypasses my fierce spamfilter.
