Hi.
I might be misunderstanding what you're asking specifically, but two
notes:
- Today leptonlib Build-Depends on gnuplot-nox only if !nocheck. So if
you build leptonlib with testing disabled, there's no dependency on
gnuplot
- Today the gnuplot source package has a hard Build-Depends on wxt and
qt. Removing either of those (even in a specific profile) would make
it impossible to build gnuplot-qt and gnuplot-x11 packages with the
same set of functionality they normally have. If a profile was added
to loosen either of these dependencies, but that dramatically changed
the end product, would that be useful?
Thanks
