I'm OK for both changes, but isn't the second one a bit overkill?

On my Ubuntu 20.04 system, installing "git-all" results in installing
many packages:

sudo apt install git-all
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  cvsps dh-elpa-helper elpa-dash elpa-ghub elpa-git-commit elpa-let-alist elpa-magit elpa-magit-popup elpa-treepy elpa-with-editor git-cvs git-daemon-run git-doc git-el git-mediawiki git-svn gitweb libclass-inspector-perl
  libclass-singleton-perl libcommon-sense-perl libdatetime-format-builder-perl libdatetime-format-iso8601-perl libdatetime-format-strptime-perl libdatetime-locale-perl libdatetime-perl libdatetime-timezone-perl
  libdbd-sqlite3-perl libdbi-perl libfile-sharedir-perl libjson-perl libjson-xs-perl libmediawiki-api-perl libsvn-perl libtypes-serialiser-perl libyaml-perl runit
Suggested packages:
  mediawiki libclone-perl libmldbm-perl libnet-daemon-perl libsql-statement-perl libyaml-shell-perl
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  cvsps dh-elpa-helper elpa-dash elpa-ghub elpa-git-commit elpa-let-alist elpa-magit elpa-magit-popup elpa-treepy elpa-with-editor git-all git-cvs git-daemon-run git-doc git-el git-mediawiki git-svn gitweb
  libclass-inspector-perl libclass-singleton-perl libcommon-sense-perl libdatetime-format-builder-perl libdatetime-format-iso8601-perl libdatetime-format-strptime-perl libdatetime-locale-perl libdatetime-perl
  libdatetime-timezone-perl libdbd-sqlite3-perl libdbi-perl libfile-sharedir-perl libjson-perl libjson-xs-perl libmediawiki-api-perl libsvn-perl libtypes-serialiser-perl libyaml-perl runit

Need to get 6,879 kB of archives.
After this operation, 55.9 MB of additional disk space will be used.

IMHO, the drawback of using "git-all" is that we look track of which git
components we release need. This would make the documentation more vague
in terms of software requirements.

Does this make sense ?

Thanks again,

Michael.
