Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
the python-matplotlib package comes with too many dependencies.
For example, when coding with the qt4 backend, python-tk and python-gtk2 (and
all their dependencies) are not needed.
Please consider providing different packages for different backends, the way
OpenSuse and Mandriva do :
python-matplotlib-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Matlab-style 2D plotting package
for Python
python-matplotlib-cairo-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Cairo backend for
matplotlib
python-matplotlib-doc-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.noarch.rpm - Documentation for
matplotlib
python-matplotlib-emf-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - EMF backend for matplotlib
python-matplotlib-fltk-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - FLTK backend for matplotlib
python-matplotlib-gtk-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - GDK and GTK backends for
matplotlib
python-matplotlib-qt-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Qt backend for matplotlib
python-matplotlib-qt4-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Qt backend for matplotlib
python-matplotlib-svg-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - SVG backend for matplotlib
python-matplotlib-tk-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - Tk backend for matplotlib
python-matplotlib-wx-1.0.1-2-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm - wxPython backend for
matplotlib

I don't think so, see below

that's exactly why they are all in Suggests: you can choose the needed
dependecies for the backend you want to use. The only stronger
dependency is python-tk (which is still in Recommends and thus can be
removed) because it's the backend installed by default.

I think they are quite overkill. Also if you install multiple backend
packages, you'll still have "a lot" of dependencies installed, maybe
because a GUI requires one of those backend while you want another
one.
Sorry, but I don't feel the required work to split the backends in
separate package is worth the effort.
