Package: python-textile
Version: 2.10-3.1.2
Severity: normal

Please remove the recommendation of python-twisted. It's not nice to have to 
install
a big stack like all of python-twisted just to be able to covert a bit of text
into HTML.

The relation between python-textile and python-twisted is minimum at best. 
Textile
is able to use one function of python twisted that helps it to colorize source
code, which is just a slight enhancement.

The recommendation should be lowered to a "Suggests" at best. Preferably the
relation is removed all together. It should be trivial to simply include the one
file from twisted in this package and change Textile to look for it in a 
different
location.

This is what the upstream author recommends in his README as well. He suggest
to simply grab the one file from Twisted since it does not have any dependency 
on
any other part of twisted. He does not suggest installing twisted just for that
single function.

Kind regards,
