Package: emacs-goodies-el Version: 41.0 There are several dependencies/recommendations in emacs-goodies-el which look questionable to me.
- elpa-debian-el, elpa-dpkg-dev-el, elpa-devscripts: Those packages are the successors of debian-el, dpkg-dev-el and devscripts-el which used to be built from the emacs-goodies-el source package. But the emacs-goodies-el _binary_ package in Stretch did not depend on those, so why have these dependencies be introduced now? - bash (>= 2.05a) | bash-static, dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info: This seems to be (harmless) cruft that should be removed. - wget, perl-doc (both in Recommends): Probably useless for the few lisp files still shipped in emacs-goodies-el. I think perl-doc was recommended because perldoc.el needed it, don't really know why wget was put into Recommends.
