Severity: minor
Does libwmf0.2-7 has to depend on gsfonts ?
I think that dependency should be changed to Recommends, because there
are perfectly fine uses of libwmf0.2-7 where gsfonts are not needed at
all. For example the wv package uses this library, and for example
converting a MS Word doc file to a HTML file with:
wvHtml file.doc file.html
doesn't have any use of gsfonts. Or am I wrong?
Similarly, X is not useful in that also, so dependencies:
xlibs
libice6
libsm6
libx11-6
should also perhaps be changed to Recommends.

libwmf would then fail to initialize, e.g.:
# dpkg --force-depends --remove gsfonts > /dev/null 2>&1
# wmf2gd -o ant.png ant.wmf
ERROR: font.c (1334): wmf_ipa_font_map: failed to load *any* font!
(Even though ant.wmf doesn't contain any text.)

This would require splitting frontend-specific functionality into
separate libraries. libwmflite is a step in that direction, but not
used by wv as of yet. In any case, this is already reported as
Bug#172786.
Thanks,
