Hi,

I had a look at the kubuntu changes to kipi-plugins:

1) split out -doc:

-rw-r--r-- 1 ach  ach  5299212 2007-02-05 22:11 kipi-plugins-doc_0.1.3-1ubuntu1_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 ach  ach  3189296 2007-02-05 22:11 kipi-plugins_0.1.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

Doc is quite huge.  Looks like in DSL times debian users don't care
that much about size anymore ;)

2) Prefer graphicsmagick

recommends: ... graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat (>=1.1.7) | imagemagick (>=5.4.8) ...

Isaac told me that koffice switched to graphicsmagick.  And Gilles (digikam
upstream) plans to replace imagemagick runtime dependency with libgraphicsmagick
build-dep in kipi-plugins.


So 2) looks like it makes sense mergin.  For 1), does pkg size
outweight the pkg bloat?
