Sorry, Andrey, I don't get this.  Imagine how many permutations of, say,
the  php4 port  there will  be  if we  follow this  logic to  accomodate
non-programmers. (What  is such a  person doing without X  Window System
anyway?)

To  be   honest,  I   don't  understand  the   need  for   the  separate
ghostscript6-nox11 either.  But I  figured nik  likes his  bikeshed that
way :-) ...

The  only  effect   this  will  have  is  the  other   package  will  be
_automaticly_ built  and placed on the  CD. Or is this  exactly what you
mean?
