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.
