Package: swat Version: 3.0.23c-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hello,
AFAIK samba-doc is not strictly necessary to swat, as it only adds the online HTML documentation (which is anyway available as normal manpages). Thus, please remove the dependency to samba-doc and add a note about it in the package description (see the attached patch).
