Package: ruby-mustache
Version: 0.99.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
ruby-mustache currently depends on ruby-sinatra, although mustache
does in no way depend on sinatra to perform its core functionality.
The Debian Policy states that "[t]he Depends field should be used if
the depended-on package is required for the depending package to
provide a significant amount of functionality".
While mustache 0.99 provides sinatra integration code, it is neither
loaded by default, nor needed for normal operation. The rubygem
"mustache" does not have any runtime dependencies apart from Ruby.
(Even the integration code is completely dropped from the current
version of mustache and is not present as of 1.0.2.)
Although a "Suggests" relation is more loose than a full "Depends", I
would argue that the ruby-rack dependency should be removed as well.
The attached patch removes the dependency on ruby-sinatra as well as
the "Suggests" dependency on ruby-rack from the control file.
Best,
Sebastian
