Package: libanthy0
Version: 9100h-6
Severity: wishlist

emacs23 depends on libm17n-0 which depends on libanthy0 which since
recently depends on the 13 MB big anthy-common. According to
http://bugs.debian.org/512204, libanthy0 depends on some files which are
now in anthy-common, taking /etc/anthy/anthy-conf (a file as small as
262 bytes) as example.

Since emacs23 worked perfectly without anthy-common before and the file
given as example doesn't take up 13 MB, I expect that for most cases
those 13 MB are an unnecessary dependency.

Therefore I suggest to downgrade the Depends of libanthy0 on
anthy-common to a Recommends. This shouldn't hurt since by default
Recommends are installed, too, but it helps those who are short with
disk space (like on the first generation of the EeePC or if you run your
system off CF or SD cards) and don't need libanthy0's functionality
despite it's compiled into an application being used.
