Package: pulseaudio Version: 14.2-2 Severity: normal Control: found -1 0.99.1-1 X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
While investigating #963582 I took a closer look at the dependencies of pulseaudio, and I noticed something odd: As part of the changes for 0.99.1-1 the Recommends: on libasound2-plugins hard-coded in debian/control was turned into a Depends:. The commit message in question[0] just reads: "tweak depends slightly" which is very quaint considering that the transitive Depends: closure of libasound2-plugins includes (among others) libavcodec58 and weighs in at a grand total of 200 MB. The context of the changelog suggests that this was done to make the package more similar to how Ubuntu packages pulseaudio, and the maintainer just didn't realize the ramifications. Considering that this was probably just a mistake and the inordinate amount of additional disk space usage incurred by it I think this change should be undone.
