Comment 12 for bug 164819

alistari, you are free to adapt it :) You can edit the dependencies of each package to not include scrollkeeper - maybe your patches will be accepted by the developers even. Or you can edit the scrollkeeper package to not run it by default.

Anyway, it seems like almost all packages use the dh_scrollkeeper hook, so the dependency should be dropped. See also http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/01/msg00047.html for a related discussion.
