Public bug reported:
Hi,
lighttpd depends on the full perl package even though a dependency on
perl-base/ libpcre3 should be enough for the basic functionality.
Furthermore the dependency on init-system-helpers and libterm-readline-
perl-perl pull in the full perl package again. This is not a major
problem on a desktop or server system but on an embedded system the
addional 20megs of perl packages (which are not needed otherwise) are an
issue.
As far as I can see the dependency on init-system-helpers and libterm-
readline-perl-perl can be completely dropped and the dependency on perl
can be replaced by libpcre3.
Cheers, Maximilian
