The trouble is that the "git help" feature (a standard feature of Git) is not designed to work in their absence. I agree that that's worth changing, and that is what https://bugs.debian.org/613892 is about. For the case at hand: do you have a list of arches that are affected by this? I can demote the dependency to Recommends on those arches. Sincerely, Jonathan
