Dear Maintainer,

Why does a tiny package like feh depend on a large, seemingly-unrelated
one like yudit-common?

As far as I can see, it's a debian-specific thing added in Feb 2018 with
package version 2.23.2-1: "Use yudit.ttf from yudit-common package"; but
I can't find any reason for the change? Why the new dep? Why that
package specifically instead of some generic font package?
