Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.5.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Currently fontconfig-config has a Depends on ttf-dejavu | (various other
TTF font packages).  Would it be possible to downgrade that to a
Recommends?  The Depends results in ttf-dejavu-core + ttf-dejavu-extra +
defoma being pulled in (8.5 MB total) via indirect dependencies on
buildds and in pbuilder, which is unneeded and wastes bandwidth, buildd
time, etc.

Since Recommends are now installed by default by both apt-get and
aptitude (not sure about dselect, but how many people still use it?)
this change shouldn't cause much trouble for users.

Anyway, feel free to close the bug if you disagree.  Thanks for considering.

best regards,
