Hi, I am not entirely convinced this is a good idea. As I understand it, that dependency is a temporary measure to avoid breakage but the plan is to remove the dependency (i.e. packages will be required to build-depend directly on "scour" for the add-on). I have taken the liberty of CC'ing Martin (maintainer of scour) to clarify the situation. Thanks, ~Niels
