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.
