Bug#723790: megaglest: removing the dependency on vlc or making it optional

[Markus Koschany]

Source: megaglest
Version: 3.7.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the latest release of megaglest, version 3.7.1-1, introduced a new
dependency on the vlc media player. The dependency is not required to
play the game. Please consider downgrading the dependency to Suggests
or even better, remove it completely. Otherwise the vlc dependency
will pull in a large amount of additional packages which is surely not
desirable for just playing a game like megaglest.

Regards,

Markus
