Мне кажется, что где-то по дороге сюда закралось *очень* много лишнего.

На p6 выглядело так (относительно hsh --ini и за вычетом libssl и т.п.):

На p7 аналогично; на p8 список зависимостей уже раздулся (причём это ещё краткая выжимка того, что меня особенно поразило):

Т.е. при установке одного сервиса, раньше прекрасно обходившегося без горки околографических библиотек, теперь мы получаем и их, и ещё один сервис, и su, и модули pam, плюс tcl/tk в довесок.
