But aren't "perl" or "python" packages just metapackages acting like
glue for all the others in the section ? I don't know if removing them
will have any effect on the libs already installed.
And doesn't the package configuration system needs python and/or perl
stuff ?
aptitude search ~S~i~s'(perl|python)' returns packages that look pretty
low-level stuff to me, most of which I have never installed manually but
were dragged in as dependencies.
Looks like a strange idea to me to run a "one programming language only"
system, it would hint that there's a "one fits all" language and other
are just for decoration purpose... (Well, some may agree I guess ;-) )
