Bug#565335: libbrasero-media0: spurious dependency to dvd+rw-tools

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: libbrasero-media0
Version: 2.28.3-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

when trying to upgrade my system, I had the following problem:

I *dont* want dvd+rw-tools installed on this box, there's no point, I don't
even own a burner (tbh, I don't even need libbrasero-media0 but rhythmbox
wants it). It's ok for a program to depend on the library it /might/ use
(there's no real way to do otherwise), but I'm really puzzled about the
library depending on a dvd tool.

Please remove the dependency, maybe put it on brasero or something like
that. But please, stop adding useless stuff to systems.

Cheers,
