Bug#233768: xlibs: Too many extraneous depends
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid
It's highly annoying to have to install things like defoma and now various fonts,
and even many of the rendering related libraries from stuff that depends
on xlibs for one reason or another. (I try to avoid them, but one or
two packages always manage to sneak in)
Mainly I run a server system, and try to keep all the extra X crap off
it as much as posisble. ;) But certain things liek GD like it (although
the noxpm can be used most of the time)
THis may be a wishlist item, but I just noticed a lot of extra X related
stuff come down the pipe today that wasn't there before.
