for my 2c, I would vote for the base .tgz package to be self-complete.
i.e. a truly minimal symbol set of simple +,x,.,o,*,box,diamond rendered
as vector graphics, not raster. (eg WLAN symbol et al from 2.09's way.txt)
and a simple (empty?) geoinfo.db to match that.
it is not unexpected to ask users to install widely available libgtk2
and zlib, and have cmake complain if they are not there, but requiring a
second .tgz for geoinfo.db seems a bit of an unexpected imposition,
especially when those not using OSM will use none of those icons.
(probably gpsd is a better example of a distinct run-time dep)
I have no problem with small dependent .deb's, that is another matter.
(e.g. no one complains about friendsd.deb) Just the omnibus.tgz.
also IHMO POI icons should be SVG not rasterized, but I would let the
OSM and Mapnik projects worry about that :)
regards,
Hamish
