I was more thinking along the lines of separate applications, like
installing kolourpaint4 on a gnome system is quite desirable, but you
don't want to get the whole kdegraphics. Or in my case, I only want
one (ksudoku) of the couple dozen games. And the only kdedu program I
want is parley.
I like the way amarok and marble works. One app per package.

I had the same surprise too, but I'm glad I don't need to download a
100M docs to just build some stuff.
