Bug Description
Binary package hint: quassel
On a fairly vanilla lucid install with no kde and at least almost no qt packages installed "sudo apt-get install quassel-client-qt4" wants to install things like kdebase-runtime and kdelibs5 that I would prefer not to have installed. This seems to be because it pulls in phonon, which pulls in phonon-backend-xine via a "phonon-
I am not sure whose bug this is, or if it is even a bug (I would lower the severity but the ui I am strongly recommended to use for bug filing will not let me), but it would have been nice if "apt-get install quassel-client-qt4" had not installed parts of kde. Can phonon-backend-xine run without kcm-phonon-xine (currently a hard "Depends")? Or would it make sense for quassel-client-qt4 to recommend a different phonon backend (assuming that actually causes apt-get to do what I want? I don't know it that well...)

I've been meaning to bump down phonon- backend- xine's recommend on kcm-phonon-xine down to a suggest, but I haven't found the time recently. Should be a really easy fix though. In the meantime I think you can do "sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-xine --no-install- recommends" then install quassel-qt4 as normal.
