its not hardly, its real. Mytop can't work without libconfig-inifiles-<br>
perl. So it must by declare as with Depends. From [1]:<br>
<br>
[qoute]<br>
The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required<br>
for the depending package to provide a significant amount of<br>
functionality.<br>

And a missing dependency is an RC-Bug. From[2]:<br>
<br>

serious<br>
is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a "must"<br>
or "required" directive), or, in the package maintainer's or release<br>
manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.<br>
