Installing subsurface to yakkety requires me to install also the
following dependencies. I really dislike the idea of installing
avahi-daeman and libnss-mdns. From my point of view, these are useless
on any normally configured network, and I have so far never used
network autoconfigurations... (Didn't look that carefully into other
libraries.)

The following additional packages will be installed:
  avahi-daemon geoclue-2.0 iio-sensor-proxy libdouble-conversion1v5
libgeoclue-2-0 libgrantlee-templates5
  libnss-mdns libqt5bluetooth5 libqt5bluetooth5-bin libqt5concurrent5
libqt5positioning5 libqt5qml5 libqt5quick5
  libqt5script5 libqt5sql5 libqt5sql5-sqlite libqt5webkit5 libqt5xml5 libzip4

Anyway Subsurface was installed successfully. However, when I started
Subsurface for the first time, declined checking of updates, imported
an XML log, and hit quit (without saving), subsurface GUI disappeared,
but the process keeps on running, apparently forever.
