I was mostly interested in seeing if there might be a package split that would provide a division of responsibility where those that want the work done get to do it without burdoning others with a lot of effort. The details of the dependencies surrounding those packages would of course be important if it were eventually decided to really implement that solution -- if it is impossible to implement with apt, then that certainly is a problem with this approach. Are Simon's suggested dependencies are better in this regard? (I was rather hoping that this would end up being the sort of detail that would get agreed between the maintainers of the packages involved, madly optimistic fool that I am ;-) ) Cheers, Phil. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] HANDS.COM Ltd. |-| http://www.hands.com/ http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ |(| Hugo-Klemm-Strasse 34, 21075 Hamburg, GERMANY
