Do you mean in the context of micromanager as a dependency (like libc6,
python, perl or whatever any package might depend from) or because
libpvcam *itself* has some relevance for medical care. The package is
there and you can use it in micromanager - but we should not collect any
"random" dependency in our metapackages.
ok, I see your point with the metapackage.
it can be used by micromanager but it is an optional requirement. I don't think users without pvcam should have it installed (I don't trust that the code is tested enough; in this context I'm impressed that there is a driver at all)
