The matlab-support package represents a local Matlab installation in a
Debian system. The package itself doesn't need libxp. However, the
reason for this is:
mih@hydra /apps/matlab % ldd Matlab_R2010a/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB |grep libXp
libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x00007f80e2f60000)
libXp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x00007f80e1e34000)
Matlab doesn't ship with libXp, hence removing it would make Matlab
incompatible with Debian, until Mathworks adjusts to this situation.
I understand the issues related to proprietary software, but Matlab is
a fairly popular piece of software. Is there a plan how to deal with
this (or at all)?
