Package: kismet
Version: 2007-10-R1-2
Severity: normal

I was shocked to discover a dependecy from kismet to gtk2 when I updated
one of my systems and it tried to pull down a few dozen extra packages.
This is unneeded bloat on atleast one of my machines that I have kismet
installed upon.

I propse the gpsmap feature be split into a seperate binary package
kismet-gpsmap(?) so that the entire X and graphics library dependency of
the basic kismet software can be removed.
