[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] Bug#766918: python-electrum: No need to depend on python-qt4

[Shane Wegner]

Package: python-electrum
Version: 1.9.8-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Currently electrum/python-electrum depends on python-qt4 which pull in a
bunch of QT libraries.  It is possible to use electrum from the command-line
and one of the common use-cases is running electrum from an USB key in a
sign-only mode for an offline wallet. In such an instance, using the GUI is
not necessary. Could the QT dependency be brought down to a Recommends?

Cheers,
shane
