Yes, CDDs could need to change anything, and yet we still have dependencies in Debian. > Most packages using optionally SVG graphics via Gtk Recommend > librsvg2-common (shipping the Gtk module), that's why I opted for the > same solution here. Hmm, gnome-themes doesn't, it depends on it. In fact, the actual numbers are that 12 packages depend on it, 3 packages recommend it, and 1 package suggests it. Of the recommending packages, eog and nautilus can optionally use it to display user's svg files, and gtk-smooth-themes contains several themes, only one of which uses svg files. desktop-base seems less similar to those than to gnome-themes, gdm, and similar packages that depend on it since they need to be able to use their svg files. > I don't think it's too dramatic to make that a > Depends instead if this is e.g. until tasksel pulls Recommends and to > avoid hardcoding this information in the tasksel package. This would be the only versioned library package to be explicitly listed in tasksel, so I'd prefer to avoid that. -- see shy jo
