Source: graphviz
Version: 14.0.5-2
Severity: normal

The graphviz package has been split into separate modular plugin
packages.  But the package descriptions do not explain what each
package is for. They all have the same generic text:

This package installs the libraries and headers necessary to link
graphviz library routines into an application. It also installs
additional man pages. 

or just

This package contains the * plugin.


What does each plugin do?
How are we to know if a client package needs one or the other?

Separately, it might be helpful to provide a collective dependency
package (libgvplugin-all-dev and libgvplugin-all) to facilitate a full
graphviz installation. The graphviz binary package could Recommend (or
Suggest) it.
