Package: python-matplotlib Version: 0.99.0-1 Severity: normal I believe (= I'm not sure) that the dependency list of python-matplotlib is far too broad and that some dependencies can be turned into Recommends, which are installed by default with both apt and aptitude, or even Suggests.
E.g. we use matplotlib in a web application, which is a common use case, so why would we need Tcl/Tk|GTK+|wxGTK|Qt3|Qt4? Is it impossible that matplotlib works without python-excelerator? Why is a lot of texlive pulled in when installing matplotlib? I believe, that this is only necessary for mathtext. _______________________________________________ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
