Package: dracut-core Version: 051-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
dracut may be used in minimal systems. If that is the case, dracut-core drags in perl via pkg-config. However, it seems pkg-config is an optional part of dracut (and is indeed not shipped as a dependency for the RPM package if I read the upstream spec file correctly) and there is fall-back support if pkg-config is not installed. So it would be nice to demote pkg-config to Recommends in order to support minimal systems that don't ship perl by default.
