Package: openjpeg-tools
Version: 1.3+dfsg-4.2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

up to 1.3+dfsg-4.1 this package did not require gconf2, it just
provided a config file for it, in case it was avaliable. Now it
requires installing gconf2 even if there is no app using it.

See the 1.3+dfsg-4 list of files for example, the 10_openjpeg-tools is
there too and goes fine with gconf2 listed as dependency:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/openjpeg-tools/filelist

Please consider dropping the dependency. Many programs are in similar
situation, providing bash_completion config for example, but they do
not require bash.

Thanks.
