Re: Bug#10516: gs-aladdin: Depends on svgalib1 (>= 1.210-1) which does not allow svgalib-dummy to fulfill the dependency
Well, OK, I can see *somebody* wants this.
But still I'm not convinced this warrants inclusion in stable.
Are there other people that would like the dependancy change
- Depends: svgalib1 (>= 1:1.2.10-2)
+ Depends: svgalib1 (>= 1:1.2.10-2)|svgadummy
to go into stable?

So it will at least not just be a web-server. But anyway, I get your
point.
