That's still the bulk of it. I still contend that all this is not really
necessary for the basic Gimp Perl functionality. Unless of course something
changed.
The pdl dependency was added to libgimp-perl in 2004 and the changelog
referred to bug #255923, where the bug submitter noticed libgtk2-perl to be
missing. Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt did this upload; Marc, why did you add pdl
as well as libgtk2-perl?
Ari Pollak is the new maintainer of Gimp - Ari, what's your take on this?
