Package: libpango1.0-0
Version: 1.26.2-1
Severity: normal
is there something special about thai, forcing everybody to install
libthai?
i don't see libpango depending on chinese (having _far_ more writers),
russian or any other non-latin-based system.
so far that dependency forces me to use more space the necessary on
limited devices like the om freerunner.
debian tries to cater to a plethora of different platforms -- but it
should limit dependencies according to the smallest supported platforms, not
those with a lot of cpu and/or storage.
and forcing >90% of users to install support for a language they will
never use is a no-go anyway.
