Using only packages depending on libpulse0 with pulseaudio is an entirely valid use case (e.g. just using Firefox and a softphone on a thin client). These users shouldn't have to live with a 200 MB burden. > Happy to review a salsa MRs, especially if they also address 963582. Let's not needlessly couple these issues: Fixing this bug by reverting the Depends is trivial, but fixing #963582 is not esp. if the Apparmor profile has to be modularized, too, and because it will probably require splitting off the X-related modules into a separate package. I have done some exploratory work, but it is still just at the proof-of-concept stage. I will prepare a MR for that once I have something that's a bit more presentable. Regards, Dennis.
