--- Begin Message ---Package: dh-python Version: 3.20180313 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Today's upgrade to dh-python from 3.20180313 to 3.20180318 wants to install dpkg-dev and, in turn, dpkg-dev wants to install all its direct dependencies (patch, make, binutils etc), which is a 30+MB loss of space for me. It was not a dependency of the previous version which was released 5 days ago, so I was wondering if it can be avoided. Removing dh-python also removes stuff I really need, like icdiff, youtube-dl, reportbug etc. The following NEW packages will be installed: binutils binutils-common binutils-i686-linux-gnu bzip2 dpkg-dev libbinutils libdpkg-perl make patch The following packages have been kept back: transmission-common transmission-daemon The following packages will be upgraded: dh-python 1 upgraded, 9 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 7,952 kB of archives. After this operation, 32.9 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue?
