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

What would you change?

        What I want to do is install all of these Optional Dependencies that are part of the wine-staging package without specifying every one of them:

        Optional Deps   : giflib
                          lib32-giflib
                          gnutls
                          lib32-gnutls
                          v4l-utils
                          lib32-v4l-utils
                          libpulse
                          lib32-libpulse
                          alsa-plugins
                          lib32-alsa-plugins
                          alsa-lib
                          lib32-alsa-lib
                          libxcomposite
                          lib32-libxcomposite
                          libxinerama
                          lib32-libxinerama
                          opencl-icd-loader
                          lib32-opencl-icd-loader
                          libva
                          lib32-libva
                          gtk3
                          lib32-gtk3
                          gst-plugins-base-libs
                          lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs
                          vulkan-icd-loader
                          lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
                          sdl2
                          lib32-sdl2
                          sane
                          libgphoto2
                          ffmpeg
                          cups
                          samba
                          dosbox
        

        --asdeps doesn’t seem to do that. apt has --install-recommended, I think, or something similar. And for all the bad things I could say about apt, that’s a nice feature.

          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.
