Yes, that seems to be the case. It looks like bsdutils recommends
bsdextrautils. I suppose in a "minimal" chroot you do not install
recommends.
notmuch does not call "col" directly, only man. So I guess if anything
needs an extra dependency on bsdextrautils, it is man-db?
If I install man-db in a fresh chroot with --no-install-recommends, then the
following
fails:
(unstable-amd64-sbuild)root@convex:/home/bremner# man man < /dev/null >
/dev/null
man: can't execute col: No such file or directory
man: command exited with status 127: col -b -p -x | sed -e '/^[[:space:]]*$/{
N; /^[[:space:]]*\n[[:space:]]*$/D; }'
