Package: kmymoney
Version: 4.6.4-1

Hi KMyMoney maintainers,

Ignoring the Recommends: package relationship (as some users have
configured) it is possible to install kmymoney without installing
libaqbanking34-plugins. When this package is missing, AqBanking does not
work correctly, as has been reported e.g. for Gnucash in Debian bug #725022.

Kmymoney already depends on libaqbanking34, so an intuitive approach to
this issue would be to let libaqbanking34 depend on
libaqbanking34-plugins. Unfortunately this would introduce a cyclic
dependency as libaqbanking34-plugins itself already depends on
libaqbanking34. But the Debian policy chapter 7.2 discourages cyclic
dependencies.

For this reason I want to ask you to let the binary package kmymoney
depend on libaqbanking34-plugins. Please do so by using the new
debhelper plugin, which is available since libaqbanking 5.3.5beta-2. The
attached patch shows all the changes needed to make use of the new
debhelper plugin.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Best regards,
Micha
