Bug#1028381: kwrite depends on kate, but shouldn't

[Hendrik Lehmbruch <hlehmbruch@gmx.net>]

Package: kwrite
Version: 4:22.12.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Is there a reason why kwrite depends on kate? While kate did not depends on
kwrite, both depends on ktexteditor-katepart, but ktexeditor-katepart did  not
depend on both.

It should be possible to install kwrite without installing kate (or remove kate
without removing kwrite), and if i understand this right -> https://kate-
editor.org/post/2022/2022-03-31-kate-ate-kwrite/ <- it should work.

So why kwrite depends on kate?

Would it be possible to demote kate to a suggestion?

Greetings

Hendrik Lehmbruch
