Package: octave-interval-doc
Version: 3.1.0-5
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

octave-interval-doc depends on [w3m | www-browser]. This looks unnecessary 
(other doc packages don't do that), and triggers autopkgtest runs for octave 
when there is a new version of a browser available (which is a waste of 
resources because the tests don't actually try to open the doc in a browser).

I came across the issue when an unrelated autopkgtest failure for octave (due 
to a missing dependency) blocked a chromium-browser migration in ubuntu. 
Removing the dependency on [w3m | www-browser] would avoid this kind of 
situation.

Please consider relaxing that dependency. Thanks!
