Thanks.  Maybe it's just me, but it would be nice to have a more
descriptive list of optional dependencies that explains briefly (like
you just did) the consequences of having or not having them.

In the case of nettle it's gmp and "only" 20 MB, and seems to be needed
for a few other things, so it doesn't seem bad to just add it to the
package dep list always.
