Bug#736832: Double dependencies for vlc-nox

[Daniel James]

Package: vlc-nox
Version: 2.1.2-2+b1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Looking at the very long list of dependencies for vlc-nox:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/vlc-nox

I noticed there is a dependency on libavcodec53 or libavcodec54. However
many of the same dependencies are listed for both libavcodec54 and
vlc-nox, such as:

 libavutil52 (>= 6:9.1-1)
 libspeex1 (>= 1.2~beta3-1)
 libtheora0 (>= 1.0)
 libvorbis0a (>= 1.1.2)
 libvorbisenc2 (>= 1.1.2)
 libx264-133
 zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.0.2)

The dependency on zlib1g is slightly higher for vlc-nox, but it's an old
version in both cases.

Also one dependency of vlc-nox is essential, dpkg, albeit on an old
version (>= 1.15.6~) - is it necessary to list this any more?

It would be a bit easier to read the dependency list for vlc-nox if it
wasn't quite so long!

Thanks!

Daniel
