why do psutils & libtool packages need ~25+MB of latex (was Re: setup.ini dependency graph?)

If you look at setup.ini, you'll see that psutils is an obsolete 
package, which has been replaced by texlive-collection-fontutils.  You 
must have once installed psutils for some reason.  If you don't need its 
functionality, uninstall it and all the texlive packages that it brought 
in.  You may have other obsolete packages installed that are also 
bringing in texlive packages.  Just run setup and uncheck the "Hide 
obsolete packages" box.
