Skim?

[Jared Greenwald]

Wow, after reading that bug, I'm more pissed off than ever.

If there is one thing that gets under my skin more than anything its
forcing people to install software they just don't need and never
will.  I don't speak or write any other languages other than US
English, so why should I be forced to install software that assists in
writing complex languages.  The fact that kubuntu-desktop and
kubuntu-kde4-desktop both depend on the skim package and the other
*-desktop packages depend on scim is a bug in and of itself.

Why aren't the deps in the language paks so that only people that use
those languages become forced to install them?  That would make way
more sense than forcing everyone under the sun to install something
they will never use.
