Package: geda
Version: 1:1.4.0.1
Severity: normal

The geda package should not depend on the geda-doc package the geda package should be
able to run fine with only the geda package, please move the geda-doc package to
suggests or recommnds.

Is it also possible to package the latest release :-p or provide an git package,
this is because geda is in heavy development and with almost every report of an 
issue on the mailinglist the developers tell the user to manually build the latest
git. Would be nice if a git package is provided during the heavy development cycles
of the geda and pcb tools.

Thank in advance,

Jelle de Jong
