It's a judgement call as to how finely to subdivide the pcp packages.
To partition the dependencies further, we'd need at least three new
subpackages:

        - pcp-pmwebd        (for the libmicrohttpd user)
        - pcp-python-tools  (for pmatop, pmcollectl, etc.)
        - pcp-perl-tools    (for the pmdas)

It could get unsightly.  Though at some point we might do this kind of
thing, say if in the future we want to segregate pure
agent/target-side stuff from clients.
