This is a feature, not a bug.  When you compile an application, in some
cases it will require some of those DLLs at runtime.  By packaging the
DLLs into their own packages, you can more easily manage the process of
distributing an operational version of your application to your users;
they don't need all of the compiler binaries just to run you app -- they
only need your application and (one or more) of those smaller DLL packages.
