Thanks a lot for the quick fix!

This dependency was picked up mostly by accident; upstream specifies a dependency on qdarkstyle in setup.py so when python3-qdarkstyle is installed at build-time, dh_python3 automatically translates the requires.txt entry into a Depends: in the binary package. Electrum is perfectly functional without this, though (it will just give you a warning if you try to activate dark mode), so I will filter the dep out at build time.
Bug#969225: python3-electrum: Please relax dependency on python3-qdarkstyle
Package: python3-electrum Version: 4.0.2-1 Severity: normal User: tails-...@boum.org Usertags: misc-reported Hi, I see that electrum has "Recommends: python3-qdarkstyle"; so far, so good. On top of that, since 4.0.2-1, python3-electrum has "Depends: python3-qdarkstyle". Is this absolute dependency needed? (See Policy 7.2¹ for details.) I'm asking because: - As far as I can tell, electrum and python3-electrum 4.0.2-0.1 worked just fine without this dependency. So I'm wondering why 4.0.2-1 differs in this respect. - python3-qdarkstyle depends on python3-qtpy, which itself pulls in a big pile of python3-pyqt5.*. This causes trouble in the context of Tails as this would make our live images and updates significantly larger.
