Sorry I need more background and understand this in more depth. Cantor is a package of the kdeedu suite like every other listed dependency. And from my point of view it is a very good education software, so why we should remove it? Because it has a lot build dependencies? kdeedu is just a meta package to reflect the set of education software build by KDE... why is this a problem? I understand that you have currently a issue at your script that defines some parts as key packages it should not - well than you have to fix your script, add an override on your side or something else. I will remove cantor if I understand why you cannot fix your script. Does a demotion to recommends or suggest fixes the issue too? Is it the only issue in whole Debian? regards, hefee
