Version: 7.5.0+dfsg1-2
Severity: wishlist
Dear maintainer,
Most applications depending on libocct-* libraries do not need the Vtk visualization
(for example Kicad) and Vtk adds about 220MB of extra disk space.
It would be great if the dependency to Vtk could be made optional (or a recomends), so
that users that does not need the visuzalization can omit it.
Regards,
Daniel.
