If it is unusable, we'll have to wait, anyway.
Ipe without tex means that you can draw anything except text. To me, that *is* completely unusable ;-) but I imagine there may be other use-cases. I had considered downgrading the dependency on tex from "Depends" to "Recommends" but if I do that I know I'm going to get a zillion bug reports that "text is broken". So I chose instead to keep the dependency knowing that it renders ipe uninstallable. I'm open to being persuaded otherwise. Let me know how you feel. -Steve
