Yeah, that's an extra aspect for the same "want": What's some random |
| 16 |
server or a RasPi or whatnot, needing one Java app, need Cups for? Or |
| 17 |
some other lib that's superfluous? Sad thing is, upstream is making it |
| 18 |
extra hard. Upstream deps often are weird (to choose a harmless |
| 19 |
expression) and to often extremely hard to patch out, if at all.[0] |

PS: I'm not sure how many "David"'s are here, if in doubt, refer to me |
| 24 |
as 'dnh', as I'm used to it anyways, ok? Oh, darn it, I've not |
| 25 |
adjusted my mail yet. My fault. |

slapped around the head of the responsible ... would at times be |

quite satisfactory :) |
