Package: zenity
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I write this as a followup of #927155, now that synaptic no longer depends on
zenity.
Installing zenity as a dependency for any package pulls libwebkit2gtk,
libwebkit2gtk pulls libenchant, libenchant pulls aspell-en and the rest and we
end up with 100+MB of useless stuff.
So please add what is not really necessary as recommended or suggested
dependency.
Thank you.

Changed-By: Simon McVittie <[email protected]>
Closes: 777608 942362
Changes:
zenity (3.44.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
* Release to unstable
.
zenity (3.44.0-2) experimental; urgency=medium
.
* Team upload
* d/control.in, d/rules: Disable WebKit integration (--html option).
This adds several "heavy" dependencies, notably WebKit itself, but
also video and spellchecking among others, which are undesired for
a simple interactive dialog.
The WebKit feature is disabled by default upstream, and several
major distributions (including at least the Fedora/Red Hat family,
Arch and openSUSE) don't enable it in their packaging, so portable
software cannot rely on this option being available. According to
codesearch.debian.net, none of the packages with a dependency on
zenity use the --html option.
The beginning of the Debian 13 cycle seems a good time to make this
sort of potentially disruptive change; most likely nobody will notice
this feature going away, but if we get bug reports, we can consider
other options such as having a zenity-minimal package without HTML
support, or having a zenity-full package with it.
(Closes: #777608, #942362)
* d/control.in: Remove version constraints in Build-Depends unnecessary
since bullseye (oldstable)
- libgtk-3-dev
- libnotify-dev
- meson
