Subject: science-geography: recommends ogdi-bin, osmpbf-bin and python3-mapnik which are not in unstable
Package: science-geography
Version: 1.15
Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package science-geography recommends ogdi-bin, osmpbf-bin
and python3-mapnik, which are currently not available in unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ogdi-bin
- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/osmpbf-bin
- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python3-mapnik

The first two (ogdi-bin and osmpbf-bin) were removed because of dead
upstream and packages not required anymore by any other package.

python3-mapnik was removed because no upstream releases, pybind11 build
didn't work.

I guess that the only option is to remove them from Recommends. I don't
see any package that might replace them (but I am not familiar into this
package eco system)

Thank you for your time,
