Package: nodm
Version: 0.12-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

nodm depends on xserver-xorg , a big metapackage, without any apparent reason and will therefore install 
many superfluous drivers from xserver-xorg-input-all and xserver-xorg-video-all, which leads to quite
some bloat. Furthermore, maintainers should refrain from depending on metapackages generally, iirc.
