So the default/suggested options reflect the existing binary packages 
... which seems fine and would ensure minimal issues for binary users 
but what about the rest of us?

I can live with the way things are but I have to admit I'm in favor of 
some method for selecting whether suggested options are adhered to. 
rrdtool pulling in the whole of X by default seems silly.
