Hi Daniel!

Thanks for your patience and the explanations. I think i see ... ;) The
question came up, when i tried to "purify" my system a little bit
(upower for example, i could purge without any problem, as far as i can
tell). So, i'll wait ...

But, generally for the future and manpower allowing it, it might be a
nice idea to give to the user the option to either install binary
packages or tarballs where you could configure options (a bit like in
slackware or with the pacli wrapper around pacman). May be that's
possible with apt as well, but at least to me it's not that
obvious ... ???

Cheers.
