Okay, I removed all the Python stuff that nothing depended on, then
deborphan'd away the extra libraries and cut off Dive Into Python (a
book on python) and bicyclerepair (a python developer's tool).  Then I
ran apt-get for the basic ubuntu-desktop and found out how much shit was
pulled out:


bluefox at icebox$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

41.8M in 114 packages.  This isn't even all of the python packages we
have; it's just the ones installed by default.

How about relegating these to ubuntu-devel-python, and also spawning an
ubuntu-devel-c and ubuntu-devel-objective-c and ubuntu-devel-php and so
on?  It'd save on bloat.
