Hi, I'm an upstream maintainer of gimp-print, and I'm also in the NM queue. I know that gimp-print has quite a set of build-dependencies, and I have reduced them a bit (by removing the SGML stuff by using the upstream tarball with prebuilt docs). Also, I guess you are depending on libgimpprint via gs. I want to remove the gimpprint gs driver, and replace it with an IJS driver instead (basically IJS is a protocol to allow gs to use other programs as drivers, communicating via pipes). Once IJS is in Debian, I can create the ijsgimpprint package, and ask Torsten to remove the gimp-print patch from gs. Unfortunately, I haven't found a sponsor to upload my IJS packages (or my new gimp-print packages since Eric Sharkey, the current maintainer, whom I am replacing, is too busy to do it at the moment). If someone could sponsor these, I'm sure the gimp-print build-dependency could be removed relatively soon. The (signed) source is available from: http://www.whinlatter.uklinux.net/ijs/ http://www.whinlatter.uklinux.net/gimp-print/ Please note my i386 sid install is quite out of date since I'm on a very slow dialup link, so they will require rebuilding before upload.
