Can Devuan and Debian be installed without Fuse ?

Hello,

I have installed the barebone server of Debian.

I am wondered that fuse *must* be installed for installing the following:

In my opinion, Debian and Devuan shall be installable without installing many things, especially when it is not necessary.

Code:

apt-get install  mutt msmtp ntpdate ncftp  w3m  netbase wpasupplicant  unzip zip unrar-free make  gcc bc unzip  subversion  gcc bc ncurses-dev  curl sshfs  screen  ntpdate ntp console-setup

It is when you install something that requires it like sshfs, do not install that package and I bet the fuse requirement goes away.

Code:

apt-cache show sshfs

Description-en: filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol
 sshfs is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.
 Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy
 to set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do.  On the
 client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the
 server with ssh.
 .
 sshfs is FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace).
