[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#478710: Need advice

Hello,

  Thanks Bill.


  The only reason that we need pcb-common to Depend on
  pcb-gtk | pcb-lesstif
  
  is because there's an upstream desktop entry 
  /usr/share/applications/pcb.desktop installed in pcb-common, this 
  desktop entry executes the binary 'pcb' which will only exist if either 
  pcb-gtk or pcb-lesstif is installed.

  So, is it ok to remove this "pcb-gtk | pcb-lesstif" dependancy in this 
  case ? That would mean that a user could install pcb-common, yet 
  without installing any of pcb-gtk nor pcb-lesstif, so he will have a 
  desktop entry without having the binary that should be executed by 
  this desktop entry.
