No, you didn't. You only mentioned that you used dummy packages on
debian. You asked and talked about a lot of other things.
Please consider writing fewer but more thought-through mails.

This list isn't usually offensive, this thread has a low SNR, which
might be what annoys people.

Maybe there are dummy packages in AUR, maybe you need to create them. I
personally try to avoid DEs and their dependencies. libpulse is
installed on my system as well, there was no way around it, but libpulse
on its own doesn't run, doesn't hurt, so I can live with that.
