The alsa-utils package depends on python-minimal.
As a result, I must now have two versions of python installed. That's
a bug.
alsa-utils should depend on "python | python-minimal", or perhaps the
python packages should Provide python-minimal.
Does this seem right?
Er... alsa-utils should be depending on python, *not* on python-minimal at
all. The previous discussion of this package was that python-minimal
exists
only for the possibility of use as an Essential: yes package, should never
be installed without python, and should not be used as a dependency by
other
packages.
To clarify, AIUI Python-minimal should never be installed without python,
unless install of only python-minimal is explicitly requested by the user.
This is to avoid having to include full python on an embeded Debian, while
minimizing cases where a user is surprised by missing python libraries.
