Bug#987428: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37: only recommned xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

[Philippe Cerfon]

Package: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
Version: 2.30.6-1
Severity: wishlist


Hey.

Would it be possible to only recommend xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
instead of depending on it?

It seems to be only required for stuff like Flatpak and Snap
running inside a bupplewrap pseudo-sandbox.
So everyone else not using these probably don't need it?

Also it leads to further unnecessary deps, like PipeWire
(why does one need this, when one e.g. just wants to use
Evolution or anything else, which depends on libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37?)


Thanks for considering,
Philippe
