This still pulls ~7mb of additional dependencies though. I'm not too
happy about it, since I'm space-constrained on a few print servers I
have and that's additional spooling space being lost.
Since I assume liblouis-bin is just called/probed through exec, there's
no real reason to depend on it (or there is?). Couldn't you just
suggest/recommend liblouisutmdl-bin directly and avoid using a fallback
entirely?
I'm fine with the filter failing, since I cannot read/write/print
braille anyway. And likewise I assume that people that need braille want
the full package.
