[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#661525: libgphoto2-2: Drop dependency of adduser

Package: libgphoto2-2
Version: 2.4.13-1
Severity: normal

Hello:

I noticed that libgphoto2-2 depends on adduser. While looking at the
changelog I noticed that it was included back in 2004 due to:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=273432

While looking at the debian folder libgphoto2-2.postinst no longer
calls addgroup or any other script inside the debian folder that I
could see.

This dependency gives the following issue with multiarch:
libgphoto2-2:i386 : Depends: adduser:i386 but it is not installable

There is already a bug report for adduser to be made Multi-Arch
foreign but I filled this bug report since it seems the dependency is
not needed in this case.

Hope this helps
Miguel
