Subject: Git should Recommend, not Depend on, git-man
Package: git
Version: 1:1.7.2.5-3
Severity: minor

*** Please type your report below this line ***

The Git package should not depend on, but recommend the git-man package.
git-man isn't (best I can tell) required, and git-man itself comes with
some fairly weighty requirements that I'd prefer to avoid on systems
like my 2GB DreamPlug.

When every MB of disk space counts, git-man (and its dependencies) feel
like dead weight I'd prefer to be without.

Feel free to disagree and close this report. :)

Thanks for your time,
Nick
