Package: maxima-emacs
Version: 5.38.0-3
Severity: wishlist

I never use maxima-doc (prefer online help); I do not use maxima on my netbook.
However, sometimes I print maxima files on my netbook from emacs using M-x 
ps-print-buffer-with-faces
I suspect that maxima-emacs does not need neither maxima nor maxima-doc for its 
highlighting purposes. Moreover, some people (including myself) prefer to 
compile
maxima manually rather than using Debian package.
I find it unjustified that maxima-emacs depends on maxima and maxima-doc.
I suggest separating these three packages (like it was in good old times):
One should be able to use each of them without installing the other two.
