Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

What would you change?

    I think the reason that doesn’t exist is that it doesn’t make sense to install all of them usually. In this case, unless you have a scanner, you won’t want sane, if you don’t have a printer, you won’t want cups, I guess samba might be for AD or SMB network shares which many also don’t use, v4l is for webcams, it’s probably very rare to use opencl inside of wine, and I don’t even know what wine uses dosbox for. And so on. These are optional dependencies for a reason.

    –asdeps installs a package as “not explicitly installed”, so it’ll be removed again when uninstalling unneeded packages. So yeah, that’s something else.

      In this case, many of these dependencies are required for a lot of games to work properly in Wine. Dosbox is used as an emulation tool. I don’t know of another package manager that doesn’t give you an option to install all of the optional dependencies.
