Source: vlc
Version: 2.2.2-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, vlc package has some questionable dependencies,
In particular:
libfreerdp-cache1.1 libfreerdp-client1.1 libfreerdp-codec1.1
libfreerdp-common1.1.0 libfreerdp-core1.1 libfreerdp-crypto1.1
libfreerdp-gdi1.1 libfreerdp-locale1.1 libfreerdp-primitives1.1
libfreerdp-utils1.1 libwinpr-crt0.1 libwinpr-crypto0.1 libwinpr-dsparse0.1
libwinpr-environment0.1 libwinpr-file0.1 libwinpr-handle0.1 libwinpr-heap0.1
libwinpr-input0.1 libwinpr-interlocked0.1 libwinpr-library0.1
libwinpr-path0.1 libwinpr-pool0.1 libwinpr-registry0.1 libwinpr-rpc0.1
libwinpr-sspi0.1 libwinpr-synch0.1 libwinpr-sysinfo0.1 libwinpr-thread0.1
libwinpr-utils0.1
This is especially counter-intuitive when trying to install something that
obscurely depends on vlc.
For example, installing ksshaskpass, which presumably has small dependency
footprint (in source code: CoreAddons, I18n, Wallet, WidgetsAddons), brings
in phonon, phonon brings vlc, vlc brings freerdp, which brings libwinpr.
Perhaps, this chain should be broken in couple of places by making some
depependencies optional.

I forgot to add it the bug to the changelog, so closing now.
