Package: libsane1
Version: 1.0.31-4
Severity: minor
Dear Debian,
Packages like *colord*, part of the default desktop environment, depend
on libsane1, so it’s installed on systems without a scanner. On these
systems udev rules are parsed nevertheless at each startup, as they are
part of the library package. That costs a little bit of resources, but
is noticeable when trying to decrease boot time.)
/lib/udev/hwdb.d/20-sane.hwdb
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane1.rules
/lib/udev/rules.d/99-libsane1.rules
(It looks like, other packages do the same.)
Would it be possible to split it out into a non-dependency package
*libsane-udev*, that *libsane-common* only recommends?
(At least they should probably moved to libsane-common as they are not
architecture specific, but `libsane-common` cannot be removed.)
Kind regards,
Paul

Hello Paul,
thank you for spending your time helping to make Debian better with this bug
report.
The udev - Rules are an existential component in the package libsane1. So moving
them to another package would also mean that the new package has to be loaded
with libsane1. Besides the necessary administration of another package IMHO has
no advantage.
I think the right way would be to use libsane1 only if it is installed. An
example would be libreoffice.
So I close this bug.
CU
Jörg
