The initial report was about the missing emacs dependency, which I don't think it's controversial at all. For the git one, I don't think the usage through tramp (which AFAIS is kind of equivalent to ssh) exempts it from having a Depends, lots of dependencies in general could be avoided that way, and that would just defeat the packaging system. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
