Comment 11 for bug 1510709

Apart from obconf, here are other packages which if installed would trigger the same sort of "lots of depends added" behavior, where I am surprised to see "adwaita-icon-theme" mostly everywhere, and often "ubuntu-mono-theme", and sometimes also "humanity-icon-theme", which perhaps also trigger installing more packages (?):
