I don't see why. If python-minimal were included in Debian then some packages that currently Depend on python could (if their needs are minimal) Depend on python-minimal instead. This would be an improvement, and obtaining this benefit does not require that python-minimal be Essential: yes in Debian. In any case I am hoping to see python-minimal included in Debian. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
