[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#834454: python-designateclient: Package have huge (unnessesarily big) dependency list

[Turbo Fredriksson]

Package: python-designateclient
Version: 2.1.0-2
Severity: normal

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  binutils build-essential cpp cpp-4.9 dpkg-dev fakeroot g++ g++-4.9
  gcc gcc-4.9 gir1.2-glib-2.0 ieee-data libalgorithm-diff-perl
  libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libasan1

  python-repoze.who python-scgi python-secretstorage python-simplejson
  python-stevedore python-tempita python-tz python-wheel
  python-zope.interface xmlsec1

Is really all of this necessary?? A C and C++ compiler, make, dev
packages etc, etc?

All the python packages is "bad enough" but all the others? And
is ALL of the python packages need for the client?

I'd like/need to install this on an instance (to be able to
automatically update the DNS record for the instance if/when
it is reprovisioned), but that's impossible with the huge
dependency list.


PS. I was considering putting this as a 'whishlist'. Feel free
    to downgrade it, but don't close it (without a very good
    reason - the huge dependency list IS a problem, but not
    nessesarily a 'normal' issue).
