 I noticed a lot of /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-xyz programs on my XO in
 joyride-2301.  Package rarian-compat provides these in a reimplementation
 of scrollkeeper, and it in turn depends on rarian.  But nothing on my XO
 seems to depend on these packages or /usr/lib/librarian.so.

 The only thing that requires scrollkeeper is totem-2.23.4-1.olpc3.4.i386.
 Perhaps if you build with --disable-scrollkeeper, you could nuke rarian-
 compat.

 I guess the only thing scrollkeeper does is build the docs in
 /usr/share/gnome and/or /usr/share/omf. But since totem is the ONLY thing
 in those two directories, the directories themselves are probably unneeded
 on the XO, which might allow nuking rarian.

 Finally, I'm not sure that the XO even needs the totem package.  It is
 pulled in by totem-gstreamer, but the totem application /usr/bin/totem
 probably shouldn't be on the OLPC; only the Totem plugin to Browse, totem-
 mozplugin, is exposed to kids.

 I apologize if I'm wasting your time, my rpm-foo is weak.
