Package: kdebase
Version: 4:3.5.5-1
Severity: serious
Justification: violates policy
The latest package update introduced a strict dependency on hal and
pmount. While the hal dependency is correct, the pmount dependency is
not. KDE simply calls the hal Mount()/Unmount() methods, nowhere in the
KDE code, pmount is actually used. If hal would use pmount internally to
do the actual mounting[1], fine, let the hal package declare the correct
dependencies. Adding the pmount dependency to kdebase is simply wrong
and violates the policy, which states that strict dependencies have to
reflect that the "depended-on package is required for the depending
package to provide a significant amount of functionality" which is not
the case here.
Please see also #388341, the Recommends: pmount of kdebase-kio-plugins
does not directly violate the policy, still it should be removed for the
same reasons.
Cheers,
Michael
[1] Apparently with hal-0.5.8.x, pmount is not used anymore by hal to do
the mounting. So pmount is now installed on my system for no good
reason.

Closes: 391357 391361 391502
Changes:
kdebase (4:3.5.5a-1) unstable; urgency=high
.
* New upstream tarball, with a number of fixes. Also include several
important patches that didn't make the tarball.
+ Fixes 'konsole flashes and is unusable' with some focus policies.
(Closes: #391357, #391361)
+ This upload, and the last one, must make Etch with their RC fixes,
so urgency=high.
.
* Drop the pmount Depends from the kdebase metapackage, since pmount isn't
important with the latest HAL. (Closes: #391502)
