That if xfce4 Depends: xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, which in turn Depends: pulseaudio, then suddenly xfce4 always pulls in pulseaudio, even though it doesn't actually depend on pulseaudio. I agree that the xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is useless without pulseaudio, so there you want a Depends. But XFCE doesn't depend on the xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin. In fact, with a clean install, the default panel configuration doesn't even include that plugin. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <g...@debian.org>
