It's basically just another branch in an if statement.What's the precise check? Any package depending on python-minimal should receive an error (or a warning?)
Based on Vorlon's message:If (package depends on python-minimal) and (package is not essential) then ERROR.
It's pretty definitely a bug, so AIUI should be marked as an error.with roughly the text of Steve's previous message?
Short message: "Non-essential package depends on python-minimal." Long Message: Something along the lines of Steve's meassage.
