Package: enscript
Version: 1.6.4-12
Severity: normal

The build dependency on flex was added as the result of a FTBFS 
(#140066). However, the fact that enscript needed flex to build was an 
Automake bug (enscript 1.6.3 used Automake 1.4), and should be fixed by 
now.

The other reason we might need to build-depend on flex is that we are 
patching one of the flex files, and so the corresponding output needs 
regenerating. Still, the existing patch looks a bit unnecessary to me; 
and it should be possible to avoid needing to rebuild the output when 
'make' is run in any case.

So, this should probably disappear at some point.
