and this is where i disagree: part of being the maintainer is choosing the right balance of Depends (core functionalities), Recommends (important but library usable without) and Suggests (nice to have), which is what i'm trying to do here. after all, you're not a direct user of networkx so you may understand why i'm reluctant to demote any of the current Recommends just because you feel the dependencies chain of the tool you're actually using is too wide. -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SandroTosi
