It's fully intentional! "hello" is a very important package that ANY system should have, however minimal! No, seriously, it's intentional. Optional dependencies, like for x2gokdriveclient, are most often resolved via an OR'd dependency with hello in Debian packaging, since Debian doesn't truly have support for optional dependencies and hello is small enough to not cause trouble. We could have made x2gokdriveclient a Recommends: instead, but eventually it shall really be a hard dependency, like the nxproxy one. x2gokdriveclient needs further love (esp. regarding packaging) and is currently only available for Debian in our upstream repositories - like I mentioned in the release announcement. Not for Ubuntu, not for RPM-based distros, nothing else yet. We'll eventually naturally package it, and once it's available cross-distribution, it'll be a hard dependency. For now, I'd ask you to live with hello as a nop-replacement. :) Mihai
