I'm working on packaging a system tool called subterfugue [sic]. It can be |
| 2 |
thought of as a very jazzed up version of strace. |

It is written Python. Some of its operating modes, such as NetThrottle |
| 5 |
(sets a limit on the bandwidth a particular process may eat) requires |
| 6 |
pygtk, but most (if not all) the other scripts for subterfugue do not. |

|

For sf to depend on pygtk, it will depend on gnome, x11 and a slew of |
| 9 |
other packages, even though 95% of sf itself is ideally suited for an |
| 10 |
X-free (no X) box. |
| 11 |
|

Merging in pygtk later on makes it work perfectly. |

Should I just make a not in post_install() about this, and don't bother |
| 15 |
with the pygtk dependency ? |

Kind regards, |
