Package: lshw Version: 02.14-1 Severity: wishlist Hi there,
Not every platform has a pci bus, so depending on pciutils is probably overkill. lshw gracefully handles the absence of a pci.ids file (apparently the only reason for the dependency?), so it shouldn't be a big deal from that point of view. This has come up because there are some debian.org machines I'd like to remove lspci from (for other reasons unrelated to your package), but we all like having lshw installed, making it a bit awkward.
