Well, I'd prefer a similar packaging:

fortune
fortune-min  (what I thought I installed)
fortune-mod-homer
fortune-mod-bible-1.0

However, I *would* include mod-bible-1.0 for the sole purpose of triggering
the howls of "WAAAAAAAA!!!  I'M IN JUNIOR HIGH!!!  I WANT DIRTY LIMERICKS
(TEEEHEEEHEEEE!) NOT BIBLE!!!!".
