There is no need to fix it. Even though there was a smiley on Andreas comment, 
it is absolutely a fair point. I often install the kernel sources (for 
reference) and don't need gcc for that.

You complained about the default install being too bloated: 

  "Package dependencies seems to grow system to classic bloat."

See? ;-)

I also would vote against mc in the default selection. I don't dispute it 
being a useful tool. But *many* people will never use it. So why install it 
by default. Those that are likely to use it can be assumed to know how to 
install the additional package.
