Hi Paride,

The packages using only the library should depend on libproguard-java.
proguard depends on proguard-cli and proguard-gui to preserve the
compatibility with the previous versions of the package (i.e. installing
proguard should pull the cli/gui, even if --no-install-recommends is
specified).
