Package: owncloud Version: 7.0.2+dfsg-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Forwarded: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/6355
Hi, owncloud currently Recommends:libreoffice. With apt's default behaviour, this means pulling in over 500MB of packages including chunks of X, Java, etc. This isn't really very nice on a server for what is optional functionality. I realise this is Recommends, not Depends, and that functionality can be disabled. But we foresee this tripping up our engineers in the future, and an accidental upgrade installing a raft of things we don't want. Upstream already dealt with this problem and demoted libreoffice to Suggests:libreoffice-writer. Therefore, please follow this and do the same in Debian. Patch attached, with a slight difference from upstream: libreoffice|libreoffice-writer gives users the opportunity to just have libreoffice-writer if they wish.
