That's possibly an upstream problem?

Well, 0.4 had a much wider set of dependencies, which we're simplified
and dropped. I don't care about those packages, they aren't useful for
the XS role, adding new versions of them in the spin would just bloat
us (and leave use tied to an ever growing set). On the other hand, if
we remove them and a local admin cared about one of them, we'll be in
trouble :-)

So maybe we can post something in the wiki saying -- it's safe to
remove these if you don't care about them.

rssh is being used by ds-backup - the others are completely removable :-)

thanks for the sleuthing...
