But as you say, that's 133 packages, which is too much IMHO. How about this? binutils bison cpio cpp debmake debhelper dpkg-dev ed file flex gcc libbfd libc-dev make patch perl Or a minimalist list like: binutils cpio cpp dpkg-dev gcc libbfd libc-dev make patch perl Both assume all required and essential packages. Personally, I prefer the latter. This also came up in July, but still nothing has been done about it. makeinfo and texi2html currently reside in tetex-bin, which means large portions of base would Source-Depend: on tetex. I don't think that's a Good thing. (Hmm, Manoj, why does make depend on libelfg0 for i386? It doesn't for m68k and appears to work) -- James
