If your package can still work reasonably without the presence of another package, then it doesn't really depend on it. If the glue required for using alsa, and whatever other libraries is fairly small, then there's no sense in splitting it out into a seperate package. If you do split it out, that seperate package must depend on both the main package and the associated libraries it provides glue for, as it's mostly useless without either one. -- Brian Ristuccia [EMAIL PROTECTED]
