package: diffoscope-minimal version: 297 severity: wishlist diffoscope-minimal seems rather badly named as it recommends a huge number of packages, very few of which seem to meet the definition of recommends for a "minimal" package -- i think most people would just a slight improvement on debdiff
i know i can remove recommends, but it's a chore as you but can't just blindly remove everything given that other packages may also depend on them (eg gpg, e2fsprogs). and it's not clear what impact removing anything has -- eg i can guess that r-base-core and ffmpeg can go, but is python3-argcomplete actually recommended for all users? and you have to repeat this on every stable upgrade by which time i've forgotten that something else depends on genisoimage and that aapt has nothing at all to do with apt thanks for considering, and for maintaining diffoscope
