Package: bcftools Version: 1.10.2-2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
The tools in bcftools that depend on Perl are only of secondary interest. For an improved efficiency in cloud and docker setups, please demote the dependency on Perl to a mere recommendation. Other executables of bcftools depend on Python that is even a suggestion, only. That sounds like a reasonable alternative. Thanks!
