i consider the ability to generate graphical visualization of a graph an important feature (not a core one), that's why those packages (all required for visualization) are in Recommends. If you dont like them, you can apt remove them or dont install recommends at all, but you are not providing strong indication we should change this behavior (which has been there since ~10 years). -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SandroTosi
