I see now that python-networkx has some integration with those
visualization libraries [1], which is not what I expected to be the
case, though the page also says:
~~~
NetworkX provides basic functionality for visualizing graphs, but its
main goal is to enable graph analysis rather than perform graph
visualization. In the future, graph visualization functionality may be
removed from NetworkX or only available as an add-on package.
~~~
so I guess until that integration is removed, it makes sense to keep it
as Recommends. My main problem remains, however, and it is that networkx
brings in a graphics stack when you try to install pbhoney on a headless
machine, like cluster compute nodes. See in an unstable chroot:
# apt-get install pbhoney

But with the latter, you won't get pbdagcon (Recommends of pbhoney) and
will end up using pbhoney's inferior fallback implementation.
