I'm a bit too relaxed to feel singled out; in this case even if you had singled me out it would have still been fitting. :)
I'll not do anything with this bug for right now, I only have suspicion that it's non-free and I've only just today passed the issue off to another person, so that's not really enough time, IMO, to allow for a realistic resolution. As for the dependancies of the package, I'd say there are none, though a check couldn't hurt. This package is vestigial in Ubuntu... At one point it caused an issue because it contains artistic representations of nudity - Canonical scrapped it and never removed it. It's gone un-maintained for three years now and can be removed without adjusting other packages I think.
