Package: socat
Version: 1.7.1.2-1
Severity: normal

socat depends on doc-base.  Since the socat package does not primarily
exist to provide documentation (unlike, say, a -doc package), this seems
quite excessive.  Furthermore, depending on doc-base doesn't actually
provide any useful functionality, unlike something like yelp or dwww
which uses the doc-base database.

In general, packages that support doc-base don't express any package
relationship with doc-base, unless they use the doc-base database in
some way.
