The reason is that many packages dep= end on glib only for its shared libraries, and it is unconvenient to have to install 100MB of python just for that. If MAINTAINER agrees, there are two approaches: 1. just make the run-dependency optional This is what is currently implemented in the attached patch. The plist does= not change so it's still possible to install python later to run glib-genmarshal and friends. 2. make the run-dependency optional and skip the installation of anything t= hat relies on python Perhaps safer, perhaps overkill given that python continues to be a run-dependency by default and turning that off means you know what you are doing. However, if you prefer this approach, I'm prepared to implement it.
