Comment 7 for bug 164819

Nice workaround (I edited my config file right away), but the real fix would be to remove the dependency on scrollkeeper for all packages.
This is actually what the maintainers of scrollkeeper recommend. From README.Debian: "You should NOT depend on scrollkeeper."

(At least) these packages violate this wish:
martin@garrett:~$ apt-cache rdepends scrollkeeper | grep -v rarian
scrollkeeper
Reverse Depends:

A nice visualization (needs graphviz and apt-rdepends):
apt-rdepends -r --dotty scrollkeeper | dot -Tps > scrollkeeper-rdeps.ps
