Rolf, Ubuntu binaries are not ready for an embedded use case where the
space saving issue would really make a difference.  However we do care
to have support for Thai out of the box -- especially if it's so cheap
in terms of space to get.

I think a bettter argument against the libthai dep is the recent
security issue; I argued the case in the Debian bug report.

I still believe it's wishlist and this is the tree hiding the forest;
you wouldn't had noticed if the code was maintained in pango itself (as
it is for other languages), and I believe using a separate library is
actually a good thing (as the security update shows -- we didn't have to
roll an update of pango and other embedded code copies, updating libthai
was enough).

I suppose a lot of people noticed this dep because of the security
update.

package libpango1.0-0 should at most recommend libthai0, but not depend on it
