how about quoting some specific package sizes?

it's not the number of files that's important, it's the size of the
resulting packages (and how realistic it is, that someone would want to use
the pure libgsf, without libgsf_gnome)

and what is the use of "Libgsf" without "gnome bits", when the software
itself is described as "gnome structured file library" ?

 you have a point about current dependancies.
there are 10, and some of them are "large".
