[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#469732: libglpk0: excessive install dependencies

[Rafael Laboissiere]

Dear python-glpk and python-cvxopt maintainers,

I am bringing to your attention Bug#469732, filed against libglpk0 version
4.27-1.  Since this version of glpk, MathPROG support in GLPK has been
activated.  This results in pulling a series of dependent packages related
to iodbc and mysql.  I am contacting you because your packages depend on
libglpk0.

I am thinking about generating two separate library packages from the glpk
source and I am wondering which would be the best naming scheme.  These are
the options I am considering:

                with MathPROG        without MathPROG
1st option      libglpk0             libglpk-light0
2nd option      libglpk-mathprog0    libglpk0

Which would be more appropriate?
