Hello,

I've tried to analyze packages' dependencies and noticed interesting 
thing, which os easier to show than to explain in words:

---
Processing SUNWgnome-search-tool

Declared deps: SUNWgnome-config; SUNWgnome-vfs; SUNWgnome-libs; 
SUNWgnome-panel; SUNWgnome-base-libs; SUNWcsl

Calculated by ldd: SUNWdbus; SUNWlxml or openoffice; SUNWgnome-libs; 
SUNWgnome-panel; SUNWgnome-component; openoffice or SUNWfreetype2; 
SUNWgnome-audio; SUNWgnome-vfs; SUNWgnome-base-libs; SUNWxwrtl or 
SUNWxorg-clientlibs; SUNWdbus-bindings; SUNWxwrtl or SUNWxwplt; 
SUNWlibms; SUNWopenssl; SUNWfontconfig; SUNWmlib; SUNWzlib; 
SUNWgnome-config; SUNWpng; SUNWxwrtl or SUNWxwice; SUNWlexpt; SUNWcsl; 
SUNWlibpopt
---

maybe all those low-level libraries would be installed anyway to satisfy 
dependencies of high-level libraries -- I don't know, haven't traversed 
dependency tree yet. But I want to clarify dependency policy:
Should package declare dependency on all other packages it uses or only 
to high-level ones?
