Gah. I say the .deb should just Recommends: xdg-utils, not Depends:. As
far as compiling D code is concerned, dmd works just fine without ever
using the -man option. Having xdg-open installed is a *recommendation*,
not a requirement for compiling D code!

As for what to do with this dependency, just use apt-get
--no-install-recommends. :)
