WDYT about the naming issue, Kei? > > Ludo’. I agree with ng0 that Octave and its GUI interface should be kept in separate packages, as the difference in size is more than 5000 MiB. I also agree that the GUI package should be named "octave", but I don't know whether the CLI package should be named "octave-minimal" or "octave-cli". I find myself leaning toward "octave-cli" because the CLI package does include some non-essential dependencies.
