Thanks, Dan. No, this wasn't intentional, it was me getting back into 
working on osrf after a really long time, forgetting exactly how it 
wants to be built, and trying to be really aggressive about catching all 
dependencies. I'll get the dupes cleaned out today.

P.S. I don't know exactly how long it's gonna take, but you're getting 
your wish for a (testing | optional sample) database at install time.
