[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#736661: unnecessary dependency on host package?

[Michael Tokarev]

Package: strongswan-ikev2
Version: 4.5.2-1.5+deb7u2
Severity: wishlist

It looks like strongswan-ikev2 (or strongswan-ike in v5.xx) package
does not use `host' utility (provided by bind9-host), yet depends on
package named `host'.

I'm not an expert in *swan, maybe I just haven't found where strongswan-ike
actually uses this utility.

If it really does not use this util, it'd be nice to remove the unnecessary
dependency.  On my system, this is the only package which pulls all the
bind9 libs with all their bugs and constant updates.

Thanks,
