Package: syncplay
Version: 1.6.7+repack1-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

currently, the syncplay package includes the client as well as the
server. This means that a server installation also includes the heavy
dependencies that are only needed for the client. Installing syncplay on
a bare-bones Debian system requires 867 MB of additional disk space. If
the Python qt and the mpv|vlc Dependencies are omitted, only 68 MB
additional disk space is required. That's more than an order of
magnitude less. Besides the disk space, additional packages also
increase the attack surface of a server, especially the multimedia
packages required for mpv, vlc and qt.

Please consider creating a syncplay-server package with reduced
dependencies.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
