Package: wine Severity: wishlist Hi,
Some upstream developers have brought to my attention that they're very unhappy with the package split that is done in debian packages. Although they're now Recommended, they believe it's not enough and should be in Depends. Please note that they have in the past spent considerable effort providing support to users with partial installs of wine only to discover that missing components were the culprits. I don't know the reasons for package split, so I can advocate either way. But please, if you want to keep packages split, do at least document your reasons somewhere (e.g. README.Debian). Or if there aren't good reasons to split, then consider rejoining them. Upstream developer Vitaliy Margolen (CCed) provided me with this link: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-November/052572.html to his mail explaining his concerns about this. Vitaliy: although I'm sending this report on your behalf, I'd expect you to jump in to defend your point if Ove has further questions.
