Package: gcovr Version: 4.2-1 Severity: wishlist It seems gcovr doesn't use anything from the lcov package and creates reports well without it so it would be great to drop this dependency (or downgrade to a recommends if it's actually used so it can be removed).
This would help meson on Debian since it prefers lcov/genhtml over gcovr¹. So not being able to remove lcov in e.g. CI containers makes using gcovr harder than necessary.
