Hi,
IIUC a required package, such as procps, does not need to be included in
Depends, such of iceweasel's Depends.
From 3.5 of the Policy Manual:
"Packages are not required to declare any dependencies they have on
other packages which are marked Essential (see below), and should not
do so unless they depend on a particular version of that package."
procps is not marked Essential AFAIK. Thanks for keeping your eyes
peeled though.
You're right. But for ex. libc6 is not essential, should (nearly) each
program depend on it??? Essential deals with unconfigured (and working)
packages, not with required (or not) packages. It's bizarre to me.
