Hi,
From reviewing the bug report, Ian Jackson sided with the
maintainer, with the opinion that not all binaries shipped with a
package need work when the dependencies are satisfied. Dale Scheetz,
Jason Gunthorpe, and I disagreed.
The suggestion was to either:
a) split off cardinfo and declare the X libraries in the Depends:
field, or
b) keep it in the current package and include the X libraries in the
Depends: field.
c) Create a wrapper for cardinfo that provides information on the
current set of cards on stdout, and in the presence of a DISPLAY
variable provides additional, X based functionality,
I suggest that the quorum of two was met, and that the
decision of the committee be formalized.
