Comment 2 for bug 1510709

Hello,

the amount installed:
"After this operation, 187 MB of additional disk space will be used."

allows me to think obconf has never pulled in so many packages and so much weight before. I don't know about each and one lib, I know some of them are needed, but what I first noticed was the themes I didn't ask for:

adwaita-icon-theme
humanity-icon-theme
and of course ubuntu-mono.

Knowing you work hard for the Lubuntu project, I would mention the same packages can be noticed in the Wily Lubuntu manifest:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/15.10/release/lubuntu-15.10-desktop-i386.manifest

I suppose most of the libs shown by apt-cache which you quote are needed. I am not sure the following packages should be brought in by obconf:
libatk-bridge2.0-0 libatk1.0-0 libatk1.0-data libatspi2.0-0 (accessibility : I haven't seen anything related to accessibility in Openbox, in the latest changelogs? http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:Changelog )

If I am right about that, having the accessibility toolkit in a distribution using Openbox would be mostly pointless;

dconf-gsettings-backend : don't know where this one comes from;

and about all the "libdrm-*" I also wonder how they can be pulled in by the Openbox gui configuration tool:
"libdrm-amdgpu1 libdrm-intel1 libdrm-nouveau2 libdrm-radeon1 libegl1-mesa" (not that I would argue on their usefulness, but I'd not expect them to be brought in by a program such as obconf).

One more thing I notice, obconf is not a dependency for Openbox anymore, it's a recommend. This is new, and also very astonishing, though it won't prevent me from installing it.

But the "187 MB of additional disk space" will certainly be a stop for me to install it. This can also be very interesting to digg in, for Lubuntu which tries to stay low in size.

Best regards,
Mélodie
