Bug#585786: New dependencies pull in mdadm and mdsetup even when not needed

Since xfce depends on eject and eject depends on libdevmapper, the fix
to 585786 causes mdadm and mdsetup to be installed when I try to update
my Squeeze box. However, I don't use RAIDs or LVM and would rather not
have the corresponding tools installed. This may not be very important
but it's a nuisance...
Wouldn't it be better to have mdadm and mdsetup depend on a specific
version of libdevmapper? Or is this an issue with eject depending on
libdevmapper?
Thanks,
