Package: python3-metakernel
Version: 0.27.5-3
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: gor...@chronitis.net

python3-metakernel adds a manual dependency on jupyter-notebook, which
should probably not be a hard dependency. The library doesn't import
from notebook anywhere I can see, so it's only being added as a possible
frontend for whatever kernel metakernel is implementing. However, other
frontends exist (jupyter-console, nbclient, kernel gateways, etc), so
a hard dependency on the most heaviweight frontend seems unnecessary.

I would either demote this to Suggests: or drop it completely.
