Package: binwalk Version: 2.0.1+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Hi...
Just tried to install binwalk on a bunch of headless systems. The quantity of deps pulled in made it impossible on at least one system, and undesirable on others. Given that the binwalk install.md states that besides a Python interpreter, all deps are optional, would it be possible to make the qt & graphical libs into recommends? Most use of binwalk is likely just "binwalk fwimage", and does not need pyqtgraph etc., and pulling it all - qt libs, extraneous python libs, vlc, gstreamer plugins... - in makes the package unusable in at least some cases.
