Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.4+1
Just another voice who doesn't care for the amount of cruft that
hal and console-setup drag into my system. The fact that console-setup
remaps the console fonts and doesn't even provide a way to set it back
to CP437 is particularly egregious.
I have, for now, simply edited /var/lib/dpkg/status and removed the
dependencies, but will have to remember how to satisfy a versioned
dependency with equivs. (I think it can't be done with a *-dummy
package that Provides: the package.)
Installing hal and console-setup wants to drag in 9417 kB of cruft:

Although some of that is only Recommends: and can be removed, taking it
down to 7528k:
xserver-xorg
D-> console-setup
D-> console-terminus
D-> hal
D-> hal-info
D-> acl
D-> udev
D-> libvolume-id1
D-> libvolume-id1
D-> policykit
D-> libpolkit-grant2
D-> consolekit
D-> consolekit
D-> libck-connector0
R-> libpam-ck-connector
D-> pm-utils
D-> powermgmt-base
R-> radeontool
R-> uswsusp
D-> libsplashy1
R-> vbetool
If we hold out some faint hope that bug #448197 will (after a year and
a half of inaction) be resolved by downgrading the pm-utils dependency
to a recommends, then that takes it down to 7135k.
