I don't file bugs for the sake of it, nor do I reopen them mentioning
'policy' without being anything mentioned in the policy. Can you please
not close the bug before fixing it or finding consensus on d-devel that
it's ok to close it, TIA?
I would think your packages should be moved to contrib if they make no
sense without a package outside main...
2.2 Categories
2.2.1 The main category
Every package in main must comply with the DFSG (Debian Free Software
Guidelines).
In addition, the packages in main
* must not require a package outside of main for compilation or
execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends",
or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main package),
Cheers
Luk
