Package: unifont-bin
Version: 1:15.1.01-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i
X-Debbugs-Cc: Scott Talbert <[email protected]>, [email protected]
unifont-bin depends on libwx-perl, which as mentioned in #1054146 is
unmaintained upstream and only minimally maintained in Debian.
debian-installer build-depends on unifont-bin, which brings libwx-perl
into the critical path for being able to build d-i.

As far as I can see, removing the unifont-viewer GUI tool (and its man
page, etc.) would be enough to be able to drop the libwx-perl dependency.
I suspect that unifont-viewer is not considered to be core functionality
for unifont-bin?

Changes:
unifont (1:16.0.04-1.1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Non-maintainer upload
.
[ Hideki Yamane ]
* Note in patches to forwarded to upstream
.
[ Simon McVittie, Cyril Brulebois ]
* d/rules, d/unifont-bin.examples: Only install unifont-viewer as
an example.
This allows libwx-perl to be downgraded from Depends to Suggests,
so that it will no longer be a key package, and indirectly unblocks
a new version of webkit2gtk. (Closes: #1054278)
