Package: engrampa
Version: 1.18.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Engrampa's current packaging includes a dependency and recommends that
are unneeded.

Please consider removing the caja-common dependency and mate-icon-theme
recommends. Please see below for more information.

caja-common: Engrampa seems to run without issue without this package.
If this is related to the Caja integration, it should be noted that this
is a hard requirement for Caja.

mate-icon-theme: This package does not provide an icon for engrampa.
Engrampa provides its own icon in engrampa-common.

engrampa-common: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/engrampa.png
engrampa-common: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/engrampa.png
engrampa-common: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/engrampa.png
