Hi Andreas and Helmut, I crafted a new packaging for 2.3 upstream release one month ago and came up to the same conclusion as Andreas, and if I remember correctly I also confirmed this by testing without that dependency which led to some issue. Sorry for not detailing this here in the meantime, that would have save you Andreas a bit of time, but I got hooked on other things and forgot. I hope to release the new packaging soon. Thanks,
