Package: graphviz
Version: 2.12-4
Severity: grave

It appears that the newest graphviz in unstable creates some much
cleared images (antialiazed etc.) by the use of pango.

Unfortunately, this means that the generated images are *much* larger.
This may be not a very serious problem by itself but doxygen uses
graphviz and many packages in Debian generate their -doc packages using
doxygen.

asterisk-doc images were 13MB and with the newer graphviz this figure
gets to 112M (10 times more!). The package size gets from 28MB to 122MB.
I can't imagine what would happen on bigger software suites.
This will affect seriously all Debian mirrors!

I'm not sure what the proper solution -if any- would be and if this bug
would need to be reassigned to doxygen, but I'm filing this here since
the graphviz maintainer would know the situation better.

The severity may seem a bit inflated since there is no actual defect;
however, there is a need for a workaround or fix ASAP before this
seriously hits all mirrors.

Regards,
Faidon
