[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#742944: libguestfs0: Has a very long list of dependencies no longer necessary.

[Alex]

Package: libguestfs0
Version: 1:1.24.8-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Please would you consider moving many of the (multiple fs) dependancies to recommended or as separate packages as a complete install of them is no longer necessary.

http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html under subtitle "Libguestfs has a really long list of dependencies!"
"Since libguestfs ≥ 1.26 it is possible to split up the appliance dependencies (item 1 in the list above) and thus have (eg) libguestfs-xfs as a separate subpackage for processing XFS disk images. We encourage downstream packagers to start splitting the base libguestfs package into smaller subpackages."

Thank you.
