Some packages (Things like python) also have dependencies on things like the gnome libraries or X11 libraries - if the packages were split then this could improve the situation.

Some known issues in this area are:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7010355
 - splitting tk bindings out of the core python package

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7010324
 - splitting X apps out of the core groff package

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6574610
 - splitting glib out of the gnome-base-libs package

Those are all from spec files in the jds spec-files repo, so it
should be possible for someone from OI to work with the folks on
desktop-discuss at opensolaris.org to make it happen for everyone.
