Bug#808057: Please demote dependency on liblouisutdm1-bin
Package: cups-filters Version: 1.4.0-1 Severity: normal Hi, the latest update of cups-filters wants to pull liblouisutdm1-bin which in turn installs ~10Mb of additional dependencies. Since I don't use any Braille drivers, it would be great if those dependencies could be demoted to suggests or recommends or pulled in via other means (e.g. via a task). Thanks for considering.

Bug#808057: Please demote dependency on liblouisutdm1-bin
Hi, I have added the Braille support and today discussed it with the Ubuntu folks, and there we came to the conclusion to move Braille into a separate binary package named cups-filters-braille. I was about to do this now. Especially in Ubuntu the new dependencies would need a move of packages from the Canonical-usupported part "Universe" to the supported part "Main" which requires security reviews of these packages. So we decided to have the separate cups-filters-braille binary package which in Ubuntu will reside in "Universe". It can be promoted to "Main" there but then not by me but by the accessibility guys.
