apt-get installing pov-admin-tools pulls in some packages I don't think we want on every server:
- libasound2
- libatk-bridge2.0-0
- libbonobo2-common
- gconf-service
- libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
- libxcb-render0
- libogg0
- librabbitmq1
- libsane-common
- libv4l-0
- default-jre-headless
- libcolorhug1
- colord
- hicolor-icon-theme
- libgphoto2-l10n
- ruby
- gdisk

collectd is responsible for 125 packages (60 MB download, 145 MB disk space), including
- ca-certificates-java
- colord
- dconf-service
- default-jre-headless
- hicolor-icon-theme
- libasound2
- libcanberra-gtk3-module
- libsane
pov-server-page is similar: 141 packages (61.8 MB download, 152 MB disk space), including
- collectd (ha! this explains everything)

I can rewrite the dependency to be on collectd-core instead of collectd, but that doesn't ship a config file so installing pov-admin-tools would leave collectd installed but failing to start.
The user would have to manually apt-get install collectd --no-install-recommends, or craft a collectd.conf by hand.

Should be fixed in pov-admin-tools 0.13.0 and pov-server-page 0.26.0.
