Package: velocity
Version: 1.4-5
Hello,
Does the velocity package need to Depend on ant ?
There are packages (such as zekr) that depend on velocity, just for
its /usr/share/java/velocity.jar. Yet since velocity *Depends* on ant,
which in turn Recommends default-jdk, hence to install a user app
(such as zekr), apt-get will pull an un-needed overhead which is the
JDK & ant.
Please consider demoting the dependancy on ant to Suggests.
Thanks...
