Bug#237605: make kdemultimedia-dev _not_ depend on noatun



Package: kdemultimedia-dev
Version: 4:3.2.1-1
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

IMHO noatun really sucks and I want to get it off my system.
However that also removed kdemultimedia-dev. That doesn't look right to me,
though. Maybe you can
either
  split package noatun to e.g. noatun and libnoatun and have kdemultimedia-dev
  only depend on the latter
or
  split files out of kdemultimedia-dev into noatun-dev
or
  simply put _all_ files belonging to noatun into package noatun
  
IMHO installing 2.6MB just for three .so symlinks is really not practical as I
thought that one goal of the whole splitting was to be able to keep an
installation small.

I guess, the same could be said about the other "front-end" packages that
kdemultimedia-dev depends on: kmid, kmix, krec, kscd
Although those four together(!) are only 1MB, so killing the noatun dependency
is more important.
