  Guess I forgot to actually ask: Do we prefer the situation where all users
of curr: packages get a few extra libs that they don't need, or would we
prefer not to make them download extra libs and rely on users of test:
packages to manually download anything they find themselves missing?  On the
whole I guess loading a few extra libs on "normal" users is probably not a
serious burden but wondered if others had thought about it.
