It looks like many peoples decided it is right time to bloat my system with stuff I don't use.
The first think I did not like when squeeze went out was libpcsclite1 pulling pcsd and hal into my system. This is being solved on two fronts - porting pcsd to udev (in #612971) and disabling libpcslite1 support in wpasupplicant. Both of them being good ideas.
What actually drove me to writing this post is today's update, where aptitude suddenly wanted to install whole latex and thus using about 760MiB of extra disk space. I know disk space is supposed to be cheap these days, but it's not that cheap with SSD in notebook. The culprit turned out to be doxygen, which up to now happily lived without single bit of latex, but now needs it (though temporarily according to changelog).
I know it is tempting to enable every possible feature in your package, but in same cases it is really not something what most of people would appreciate.
and doxygen-latex doesn't look that helpful:
$ dpkg -L doxygen-latex
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/doxygen-latex
/usr/share/doc/doxygen-latex/copyright
/usr/share/doc/doxygen-latex/changelog.Debian.gz
