Bug#729238: vlc-nox should not depend on libsmbclient

Package: vlc-nox
Version: 2.0.8-1+b2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I only use vlc-nox to play local files and streams from the Internet
and do not play files from SMB servers. I therefore do not want any
libraries or programs for SMB on my computer.

By depending on libsmbclient, vlc-noc forces the installation of
libsmbclient and other packages for SMB (the change in libsmbclient
on Jessie from 2:3.6 to 2:4.0 greatly increases the number/size
of other packages for SMB that will be installed).

vlc-nox should be changed to only recommend/suggest libsmbclient
and work without it installed when not playing from SMB servers.
This is how mount works. If you're mounting SMB then you need
SMB packages installed otherwise you don't.

Bruce
