Package: gnunet-client
Version: 0.8.1b-5+b2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to have gnunet-chat on this box, so I searched to see which package
provides it. A little surprised that it isn't on "gnunet-tools" but on
"gnunet-client". I proceeded to install gnunet-client. As you might be aware,
gnunet-client depents on gnunet-common, but neither of those need gnunet-
tools,
so I ended up with both gnunet-client and gnunet-tools installed.

After the installation, I tried to use gnunet-chat, by running the command
"gnunet-chat". That command fails, stating that it failed to run gnunet-setup.
After looking for that binary, I found out that gnunet-setup is indeed not
present, and the package that provides it is gnunet-tools, which wasn't
installed.

In other words, gnunet-client, as it is, doesn't work (at least some
of the
provided binaries don't - gnunet-chat being the example) unless the
gnunet-tools package is installed. Thus, either gnunet-client needs to
depend
on gnunet-tools (either directly or indirectly), or the binaries that
need them
should be packaged in gnunet-tools instead of being in gnunet-client.

I didn't test this on the version uploaded on experimental, but I did
check
it's dependencies, and I'm pretty sure that experimental's gnunet-chat
still
need gnunet-setup...
