Sorry, that's not clear at all. If you add --tree you will see that they are |
| 21 |
in fact deep dependencies of baselayout (at least given your choice of use |
| 22 |
flags). |

Yes, and the man page states what it does in conjunction with -u. It says |
| 35 |
nothing about what it should do without -u. So what should it do and why? |

I do think you are correct in that there has been a change of behaviour, |
| 40 |
however, I think it's intended and unless you can convince the devs to change |
| 41 |
this, I think this falls in the category of permanent changes. |
