--- Begin Message ---Package: gitk Severity: wishlist The current version of gitk depends on version >= 8.4 of tk. Unfortunately, this ancient version was not compiled with fontconfig support and, as a result, it does not recognize some more readable fonts that I have on my system (which are a lot more desireable than the defaults that gitk sets). I already compiled a private copy of gitk with such dependencies, it works quite well and I would love to see the dependencies flexibilized this way for the main distribution (actually, in all the platforms where install git-*). Let me just state that I do understand the desire to keep the dependency as version-agnostic as possible on the system, but given that the current depencency forcibly pulls in t{k,cl}8.4 without giving the user an option that is already packaged, I think that such a change would be welcome for some users already. BTW, if desired, I can provide a patch (even though it would be mostly trivial and changing, say, at most 4 lines of the debian/control file).
