i would like to see some packages (namely the kde ones) seperated into 
smaller ones so that you could install just kghostview or just kmail or 
some other major program (with the right kde dependencies) without say 
having to install a whole package like kdegraphics which contains a 
bunch of stuff i dont need.
maybe there are some options i just need to change to do this. enlighten me.
