I support that we do something to reduce the package size. According to upstream website[1] the mupdf-gl viewer is the recommended one. Although personally I also prefer the x11 version. > On Tue, Nov 21, 2023 at 06:22:55PM +0100, Davide Prina wrote: >> 2) a man page for mupdf-gl > > Yes, this is required by Debian policy.

Another option is to enable building libmupdf and sharing it between mupdf-x11 and mupdf-gl. This will not fix #719351 because upstream still do not intend to distribute mupdf as shared library. The libmupdf.so binary won't have soname. This is confirmed with them. > [ Maintainers: please consider marking yourself as supporting low > threshold NMUs: <https://wiki.debian.org/LowThresholdNmu> ] I support this initiative however I don't understand how this wiki is used. Do everyone just search the wiki to find what's the NMU threshold? The comments looks pretty arbitrary. IMO the delay queue NMU process works well, file a bug and upload to delay queue so I have sometime to check. Or send a patch to salsa.d.o.
