Package: wicd
Version: 1.5.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

wicd needs dependencies on some of the external tools it uses.  In
particular, it should have a dependency on dhcpcd | dhcp3-client |
pump, a dependency on net-tools | ethtool, and a dependency on
net-tools | iproute.

In theory, wicd could operate without a DHCP client if you used it
with static address information only.  Similarly, wicd could operate
without a wired link detection mechanism.  Thus, you could choose to
make them Recommends.  However, almost all users of wicd likely want
this functionality; I'd personally argue for Depends.
