There is actually a simple and obvious answer to that question: When sleep deprived I am a complete moron! :P Seriously now, I was in fact a bit hasty and didn't do my homework carefully enough. The song goes like this: * lightdm *Depends* on lightdm-gtk-greeter * lightdm-gtk-greeter *Recommends* gnome-themes-standard * gnome-themes-standard *Recommends* gnome-accessibility-themes However, that's nothing serious. You should thus be able to uninstall gnome-accessibility-themes after installing lightdm without breaking anything. Protip: If you'd like to avoid such unwanted installs, there is an easy way to tweak apt, namely by creating this file: $ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01norecommends APT::Install-Recommends "0"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; Actually, that's usually one of the first things I do on a fresh De??an system. There is one potential drawback though: *Some* of the "Recommends" might actually be quite useful. In those cases you'd have to install them manually.
