[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#908133: Please stop (build-)depending on oxygen-icon-theme

[Marga Manterola]

Source: node-mocha
Version: 4.1.0+ds-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: maxy at debian.org

Hi!

Since version 4.1.0+ds-1, node-mocha has started depending
on oxygen-icon-theme for a couple of images (ok and cancel).

There are several drawbacks to this:
* oxygen-icon-theme is a huge package, so this significantly increases the
footprint of building node-mocha / running mocha.
* oxygen-icon-theme is in an old package, the KDE/QT team is still
maintaining it, but they would like to deprecate it in the future.
* You are stating a quite recent version of the package, which means added
work for backporting / distro-porting your package. Do you really need (>=
5:5.45.0) just for dialog-ok-apply.png and dialog-cancel.png?

I'm not sure what triggered the removal of these two images and the
dependence on oxygen-icon-theme instead. I'd like to ask you to reconsider
this decision.

If really not possible, please at least allow older versions to ease
backporting.

Thanks.
