Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: testdisk

PhotoRec is packaged as part of Testdisk. Even if packaged in the same
source tarball, they provide very different functionalities: partition
recovery vs image files recovery. Could it be moved to a separate
package?

The split requires no -common package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/amd64/testdisk/filelist lists

/usr/sbin/photorec
/usr/sbin/testdisk
/usr/share/doc/testdisk/...
/usr/share/man/man1/photorec.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/testdisk.1.gz

It could be split to

testdisk:
/usr/sbin/testdisk
/usr/share/man/man1/testdisk.1.gz

photorec:
/usr/sbin/photorec
/usr/share/man/man1/photorec.1.gz

There is already a separate bug request for an additional -doc package.
