Good. This'll move the icky deps to one place rather than all over the
tree, at least.

As an aside, and not directed at spb... Would be nice if in the future
this kind of discussion were done *before* packages start to be changed
in weird and wonderful ways. It's generally considered bad manners to
start screwing around with other people's packages without asking...
Plus there's the whole "learn from past mistakes" issue.
