Bug#1011071: esnacc-doc: pulls in evince by default
Package: esnacc-doc
Version: 1.8.1-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
`apt install libesnacc-dev` in an up-to-date bullseye chroot.
* What was the outcome of this action?
evince with a whole heap of GUI-related dependencies would be pulled
in in a build chroot.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Installation of libesnacc-dev and libesnacc180 only, which can be achieved
using apt flag `--no-install-recommends`.
I would propose dropping evince from "Recommends:" and possibly adding
pdf-viewer to "Suggests:" to prevent a development package from pulling in a
specific PDF viewer by default.
