Package: wireshark
Version: 2.2.6+g32dac6a-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I want to install tshark on a headless server and keep the system as
small as possible because the complete operating system lives in RAM.

thark pulls in libjs-openlayers (tshark -> libwireshark8 -> libwireshark-data
-> libjs-openlayers), which consumes 12.8 MB of additional disk space and is
not needed on the headless system:

(unstable)root@konstrukt:~# apt install --no-install-recommends tshark

Need to get 29.8 MB of archives.
After this operation, 149 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Please demote libjs-openlayers from Depends to Recommends in libwireshark-data
or adjust the dependencies to prevent tshark from pulling in libjs-openlayers.
