Nope.  More info here: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities

Also, please simply skip version number rather than providing a bogus 
one like "lastest".

But thanks for trying, and asking - and for reporting! :-)

Please file RFP (reguest for packaging) or ITP (intend to package) for 
each of those relevant-even-if-not-core activities.


sucrose-NN is intended to depend on all of core Sugar from Sugarlabs, 
recommend non-core parts shipped with Debian and suggest oddly packaged 
Sugar software (e.g. non-free packages).

It does not make sense to me to add non-package dependencies to 
sucrose-NN.  It might make sense to maintain such in a separate 
metapackage, e.g. honey-NN.

Also, I feel that handling such dependencies are less urgent than 
packaging and dependening on actual core Sugar parts - some of which are 
still missing.


Let's keep this bugreport open until decided if it belongs here or 
should be solved with a separate honey-NN package.


Regards,
