It's nice to see strap-base converging more and more to some uploadable
Debian package. You might have noticed that I commited the result after
doing
cme fix dpkg-copyright
to SVN.
I spotted some final issue inside the resulting package: I have noticed
that you install a copy of some just packages latex styles:
$ apt-file search texshade.sty vmargin.sty
texlive-latex-extra: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/texshade/texshade.sty
$ apt-file search vmargin.sty
texlive-latex-extra: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/vmargin/vmargin.sty
I think I remember somehow that your idea was to not force users to
install a large latex package on their computers but I think this is
not the way to go. You should rather add a
Depends: ..., texlive-latex-extra
if these styles are needed. However, I do not see any texlive
dependency at all and so I wonder whether the package will work anyway
if it needs some LaTeX styles but does not have any LaTeX installation.
Kind regards
Andreas.
