Could you expand on this point? The question has just arisen from one of my upstreams about Ubuntu not having a python-gtkmozembed package. He has suggested making the binary package depend on python-gtkmozembed | python-gnome2-extras so that Ubuntu can do a straight import; I suggested they do a merge and change the dependency only in the Ubuntu repo. But I'm interested to know why this dependency is Bad Thing, and whether actually it's not so bad and I could be kind to the Ubuntu folks without making a dependency mess for us. TIA for your comments. -- Jonathan Wiltshire PGP/GPG: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52
