Subject: xml-core: Drop perl dependency

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: xml-core
Version: 0.15
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

xml-core currently depends on perl, but there is no reason for this:
update-xmlcatalog only uses File::Spec and Getopt::Long, both of which
are in perl-base. dh_installxmlcatalogs is a debhelper plugin and
thus depends on debhelper; it also does not import anything directly
from perl/libperl.

This helps to remove perl from smaller installations where xml-core
itself is hard to avoid (as it's a recommends of libxml2).

Patch against Debian packaging git attached.

Thanks for considering,

Martin

Hello again,

this was actually a regression from
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-xml-sgml/xml-core.git/commit/?id=fed34e01b5
That already used dh_perl -d, but this wasn't ported over to the new
debian/rules.

Martin
