I think the judgement of “not bloat the package too much” is to be made with consideration of those users striving for a small system as their primary concern, e.g. those trying to install onto embedded systems with minimal storage. Also, the dependencies of a package that includes unit tests are generally greater; a significant amount of Python package unit test suites require additional packages, e.g. ‘python-nose’, that are not dependencies for the normal operation of the package. -- \ “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… | `\ It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in | _o__) the opposite direction.” —Albert Einstein | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
