Package: python-matplotlib Version: 1.2.0-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, the python-matplotlib package comes with too many dependencies. For example, when coding with the qt4 backend, python-tk and python-gtk2 (and all their dependencies) are not needed. Please consider providing different packages for different backends, the way OpenSuse and Mandriva do : python-matplotlib-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Matlab-style 2D plotting package for Python python-matplotlib-cairo-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Cairo backend for matplotlib python-matplotlib-doc-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.noarch.rpm - Documentation for matplotlib python-matplotlib-emf-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - EMF backend for matplotlib python-matplotlib-fltk-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - FLTK backend for matplotlib python-matplotlib-gtk-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - GDK and GTK backends for matplotlib python-matplotlib-qt-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Qt backend for matplotlib python-matplotlib-qt4-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Qt backend for matplotlib python-matplotlib-svg-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - SVG backend for matplotlib python-matplotlib-tk-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Tk backend for matplotlib python-matplotlib-wx-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - wxPython backend for matplotlib
