That's easily explained by their respective upstreams being equally unclear about those issues.

If I ever found out why this package downloads stuff from the Internet rather than just expressing a dependency on a data package that contains it, I would ask for that information to go in the package description. Is it perhaps because the data is non-free? (No, that can't be right or it wouldn't be in main.) Is it perhaps because the dataset requires very frequently updates? (In which case I might want to re-run the installer regularly...) Is it perhaps because the dataset is huge? (In which case I might want to schedule the install for the weekend.) Whatever the explanation is, it would probably only require the addition of a single word into the phrase "necessary shapefiles" in the long description - something like "up-to-date" or "multigigabyte". (I don't know why it is that package descriptions for downloader packages are always so unclear about the point of the exercise, but your package hit debian-l10n-english at the same time as two others that were equally uninformative - in one case supposedly for legal reasons!) -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package ___ Pkg-grass-devel mailing list Pkg-grass-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-grass-devel

Because it needs the Natural Earth data to render the default style. The shapefiles are referenced in the various style sources (.mml files). Updates to the various shapefiles happen separately from each other, they get aggregated in openstreetmap-carto to assemble it into a worldmap. The above is only a clearification, don't quote it in the debconf templates.
