netpbm maintainer (Yaakov?) --

The netpbm package is currently subdivided into the following:
    libnetpbm-devel
    libnetpbm10
    netpbm

As the attached jpg [*] shows, netpbm pulls in a number of other 
packages, including libnetpbm10 and various graphics libs as 
appropriate. However, it also pulls in libX11_6 and perl.

The only application that requires libX11 is /usr/bin/pamx.exe ("display 
Netpbm image in X Window System window").

Further, most of the scripts provided by netpbm are POSIX shell scripts, 
along with only a few perl scripts (listed below):

/usr/bin/pbmtox10bm
/usr/bin/pnmflip
/usr/bin/pnmquant
/usr/bin/pnmquantall
/usr/bin/ppmfade
/usr/bin/ppmquant
/usr/bin/ppmrainbow
/usr/bin/ppmshadow

Would it be possible to subdivide the netpbm package to reduce the 
dependencies of the main subcomponent?  E.g.

netpbm
netpbm-X
netpbm-perl

(along with the existing libnetpbm-devel and libnetpbm10)?


[*] compressed into an xz file because the mailing list software is 
ridiculously overzealous, as this is the fourth attempt at sending this 
message.
