Package: gimp-data
Version: 2.3.18-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

gimp-data is quite large.

And 19MB of it are locales. Other packages have also
already started to split out the locales and only Recommend
them.

So could you please split the /usr/share/locale/ part of
gimp-data into a new gimp-locales package and let gimp
"Recommends: gimp-locales"?

No, we don't think it's useful to split translations to a separate
package. Debian is used by people of all languages.

Ubuntu offers language packs which allows installing only the needed
languages. Maybe Debian will eventually adopt something like that too,
instead of in individual packages.

Therefore, I am closing this bug.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
