Hmm, and python-ure. Maybe we should treat all dependencies of a pre-dependency as pre-dependencies after all. This is not entirely analagous to the case of dependencies of an essential package because, as Russ said, a maintainer of a (library, say) package may not know in advance whether it will appear as a pre-dependency. Dependency loops in packages that appear as a pre-dependency are forbidden, anyway. So it might be doable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
