Thanks for the report. I just had a look at this. The reason why I added it in the very first version of this package is probably because I also was thinking back then that the package would be completely useless without having munin-node installed. ;] There indeed is no actual technical reason why there should be a dependency on munin-node in here. The package should be able to install fine without having munin-node installed. I have added a TODO here to do a 14.1-2 upload which will remove the dependency. Thanks, Hans
