I find that annoying when Package A tries to install several totally
unrelated packages if you don't pay attention.   I don't recall Java
doing that, though I have seen quite a bit of other software doing it,
even when the packages are from unrelated vendors.

I don't think it that wicked to plug related products from the same
vendor, so long as it does not by default install them.
