Severity: wishlist

Currently, nasm is involved in a build dependency cycle:

nasm Build-Depends on ghostscript
ghostscript Build-Depends on libjpeg-dev
libjpeg-turbo Build-Depends on nasm

To me, the ideal way to break this cycle would be to split out the
documentation into a "nasm-doc" package and then move the associated
Build-Depends to Build-Depends-Indep.  Otherwise, creating a build
profile "stage1" or "nodocs" could also work - though this would be
suboptimal, since it would change the package contents, so you would
have to rename the resulting package to something like "nasm-stage1"
with "Provides: nasm".
