Uhm,... what a pity.

Yeah,... I understood that... :)

I still consider development of such "app store like" things very
dangerous by itself,... but that's another issue..

But,... I rather meant that to be useful, so that users can decide what
they install.
Looking at other packages we so often split out things, which are likely
never installed alone...
Here it may make already sense for those, not using and Mozilla-plugin
compatible browser at all and who prefer to keep their system as small
as possible.

Of course ;-)
