Bug#530696: kdebase-runtime depends on exactly one icon theme
Package: kdebase-runtime
Version: 4:4.2.2-1
kdebase-runtime depends on kde-icons-oxygen, disallowing any other
(e.g. smaller-on-disk) icon themes from being installed instead (they
must be installed in addition to oxygen theme). I consider this an
"important" bug, as the oxygen theme is about 86MB uncompressed
whereas kde-icons-mono is about 1/10th of that, so this sort of thing
would be a consideration for platforms with limited disk space.
If possible, I'd like to see kdebase-runtime depend on a virtual
package (e.g. kde4-icons) that can then be provided by each of the
appropriate kde-icons theme packages. This way I wouldn't need to
download a 65 MB package every time my few KDE apps get an update :).
