Package: etckeeper Version: 1.18.10-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
"apt-get install etckeeper" on one of my systems advised me: The following additional packages will be installed: libpython-stdlib libpython2-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib python python-minimal python2 python2-minimal python2.7 python2.7-minimal I'm not very happy about this. Python 2 is pretty much unmaintained and is approaching its (already extended) EOL date. Moreover, it seems that etckeeper only requires python when using bzr as VCS (which I'm not). Since bzr is an optional dependency of etckeeper, it makes no sense for python to be a mandatory dependency.
