I agree. And FYI, about the usual dependencies against libraries, they are necessary, because even if the library is not used in usual cases, the library is needed to avoid a link failure when starting the application. But for Python, I suppose that this is different: a python3-numpy user with Python 3.9 will be able to use python3-numpy with Python 3.9 even if Python 3.8 is not installed, won't he? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
