Great, let's start a witch (nazi? ;-) hunt on any package installing more than $n binaries in /usr/bin, and any packages depending on it...

Get used to the `choice' you and I have between netpbm and ImageMagick (and whatever other image manipulation tool), just like the choice between `git<space><subcmd>' and `git-<subcmd>'.

Now, let's get back to topic...
