Package: vim-nox
Version: 2:8.2.0716-3

The package named "vim-nox" now requires an abstract sound library
that uses XDG specification for sound, is packaged by GNOME
maintainers, and pulls in audio libraries and freedesktop sound theme?
What does this have to do with editing files, and how is that "nox"?
The reason we use vim-nox is so all the desktop/gui/X nonsense isn't
needed or installed on our systems. We don't want a stripped vim-tiny
that's barely functional, no syntax highlighting, etc.

Many people install vim-nox on headless systems and it makes no sense
to pull all this stuff in, it appears to be from 0aaaf024.
sound-theme-freedesktop? libasound2? libvorbisfile3? How is that "nox"
? Just because it's not "graphics" doesn't mean it should be included.
Nobody running servers (or even minimal systems like my laptop that's
not running a desktop environment) wants to install sound libraries
and freedesktop themes.

Please revert this dependency and put it in the vim gui package where
it belongs.  Thanks.
