Bug#817017: libopencv-highgui-dev: Should not depend on libgtk2.0-dev

Hello,

I was just going to file the same bug (against unstable, and not
because of any install problems).

I also believe libopencv-highgui-dev should not depend on libgtk2.0-
dev, since:

 - libgtk2.0 appears to only be used internally by libopencv_highgui 
 - gtk/gdk headers are not referenced in its public header files
 - no pkg-config file that references gtk/gdk .pc file

What is the reason for this dependency then ?

Cheers
-Tim
