On second thought, that's not correct. Please see my explanation on debian 
bug #207800. The main point is that both fileutils/textutils/coreutils are 
'standard' and should not be depended on but I added the dependancy because 
it depends on an specific version (IIRC due to a change in Debian's 
fileutils's LS behaviour).
