Quoting "Patrick Matthäi" <pmatth...@debian.org>:
Sorry I still do not see a realy good reason to split up the package
again. In your case, I think those 33 mbyte qt libraries won't hurt you

I asked to split out *one* package. The answer is: you don't like
to split out *one* package, because you would prefer to split out
*twenty* packages and this would be too much. Indeed.

The alternative, just recommending Qt and GTK+, you consider a
bug. Maybe I missed this point in the Debian policy?


I do not like the decision to install per-default recommends as dependencies. My first step with new servers and desktops is, to deactivate this..

Regarding this position:
It is a bug, if I install xyz, the needed libs were just recommended (so they will not be installed) and I enter $ xyz and I just get: libxyz not found.
This is a bug.

You are also a DD, please think about, what a workload it is (with many pot. new bugs) if you have to drop ${shlibs:Depends} and then to list each library yourself. This is needed for this step.
