But obviously the version of evince currently in testing doesn't need it, and a version of evince that adds such a dependency wouldn't meet the requirements for a freeze exception. So it seems to me that this change would increase the size of the archive for no real benefit. (Size is always an issue, of course -- it would be nice if sarge/i386 was able to fit on two DVDs instead of three, and better yet, if it was able to fit on one double-layer DVD, and it's not yet clear that it's going to it either.) > (And besides this is a very minor change to a small leaf application > package and is thus extraordinarily unlikely to cause any non-local > damage ... OTOH, it's a change explicitly for the purpose of making this a non-leaf package. :) I really don't think this is the time for that. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
