Xnee consists of
 cnee -command line 
 libxnee - the lib containing most of the functionality
 gnee - a gtk gui
 pnee - a gnome panel applet
 and some manuals...


cnee depends on libxnee 
cnee built statically (no shared libs)

and building a deb containing cnee only (with libxnee statically built
intop it) is the asiest..... and that was not a question ;)
