Source: pyserial-asyncio
Version: 0.5-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I just noticed, that the python3-serial-asyncio package announces the
following packages as hard dependencies ("Depends"):

  python3-serial, python3:any, libjs-sphinxdoc, sphinx-rtd-theme-common

I guess, that the two sphinx-related packages are not strictly relevant
for using the python module?
Maybe these are just build dependencies?
Or these packages should just be downgraded to "Suggests" (or
"Recommends", if they are really relevant under most circumstances).

I am using pyserial-asyncio in an embedded environment and I would like
to just use 88 kB for pyserial-asyncio (and avoid the extra 4,5 MB for
the sphinx-related dependencies).

Thank you for maintaining this package!

Cheers,
Lars
