We talked about it once more int he Team and also I now had time to monitor
requests about that.
My summary is like this:
- nobody else asked about it or raised prio here
- there are two kinds of users in regard to this
- those who just want qemu and able to start it getting a UI window as they
ever did
- those who want it for some infrastructure and might not need the GUI
- The latter group is usually more experienced and can as outlined install
without recommends or
remove the packages later if they are concerned about size
- The former group (and as a meta layer to that packages depending on
qemu-system-* today) are
less likely aware what is going on.
So while I agree to the issue described, I think we better preserve a "install
and it just works as it did" behavior.
The concerns about image sizes are the reason the -gui package was separated
and a recommends (old was a Depends, no choice to be made) - that will give
users the chance to avoid these packages if they are concerned.
I re-considered this multiple times now and just re-discussed with the
Team, but it seems that way around the argument is stronger.
For that setting to Won't Fix unless some real convincing takes place.
Sorry cyphermox :-/
