 You are so right. libss is part of e2fsprogs, and libverto makes sense
stand-alone. I can't find a libet in Debian, so I guess it doesn't make much
sense on its own.

 This was anyway just a bit of help for Charles and Daniel, so it may take some
time before I respin...

 Note that the KRB5_LICENSE is also a bit tricky, there is in fact a very long
list of licenses that apply to different parts and I couldn't make a lot of
sense of it...

 Regards,
 Arnout
