Package: webext-lightbeam
Version: 2.1.0-2
Severity: minor
Hi,
webext-lightbeam pulls in texlive-fonts-extra which has 1 GB of
installed size. Is this hard dependency really _required_?
I mean, why should a browser extension which seems to have no relation
to TeX install 1 GB of fonts which are considered "extra" from TeX
Live's point of view?
If webext-lightbeam uses a single font out of that package, I'd suggest
to do one of the following:
* Downgrade the dependency to Suggests (or at least Recommends) as fonts
in web applications are usually just "nice to have".
* Look for a _much_ smaller replacement font.
TIA!
