A fair critique, but I prefer the obsoletes mechanism to the I dep
mechanism.

I agree with what you're saying, but I want these things split
entirely and am only leaving client package as a convenience.

If I reversed what was included now vs then, I'd agree...people
wouldn't be happy.  As it stands, they'll find bconsole missing and
then look for the new tool and pull it in.  (Or more commonly, I
expect they won't miss it since it was only there to get bacula-fd.)

Thanks
