I do agree we have to push back against frivolous dependencies, and bindling packaging everything just because it is listed as dependency for something that you actually want. fast_blank however seems to be something created with a purpose, though ... signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I appreciate you intent to contribute to Debian, but do we really need this packaged?

As my membership request to alioth is still pending, I've added my packageto the following git-repo:https://git.fosscommunity.in/debian-ruby/ruby-fast-blank Please review and upload.
