That would work form me (and we've had other situations where that would be useful in the past). `gbp config` (as all other subcommands) depends on classes from the `gbp` module so we'd need to split out the minimal subset there too to get a smaller set of dependencies (we do something similar for the git-buildpackage-rpm to not have `git-buildpackage` depend on rpm tooling). A simple autopkg test would make sure that we don't break this on refactors. Cheers, -- Guido > > Thanks. > > -- > Sean Whitton
