In december I warned about splitting the combined packages in their
standalone versions. This was halfway done and never finished. I hope to
finish that transformation with this update too. So far I have all apps

installations. For those setups I see no need to install all input
drivers but not all video drivers, or the other way around. It's all or
nothing, not half.
