why does setup keep trying to install non-required packages?

- Subject: why does setup keep trying to install non-required packages?
Fairly often when I run setup just for updates, it selects new packages
for
installation that I haven't selected and that aren't required by any of
my
other packages.
Right now setup wants to install the login package. I didn't select
it,
and if I unselect it the installation continues without any problem.
It
happened in setup-x86, and now setup-x86_64 wants to do it too. I try
to
keep my installation slim, so I don't want setup to add new packages
that
aren't required and that I didn't select.
Has anyone else observed this? Know the reason? Are they new
packages,
and setup assumes I want all new packages?
Thanks,
Andrew.
