[Debconf-devel] Bug#629405: please remove redundant libqtgui4-perl from Build-Depends

[Modestas Vainius]

Source: debconf
Version: 1.5.39
Severity: important

Hello,

debconf build-depends on libqtgui4-perl but it builds fine without this
dependency. Apparently, libqtgui4-perl is only useful at runtime (and debconf
binary package suggests it already). Could you remove this package from
Build-Depends?

I'm reporting this as important because qt4-perl (source package for
libqtgui4-perl) might have to go away from testing (or archive) temporarily or
permanently. When this happens, this trivial bug will become RC so it's better
to avoid that in advance...
