[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#529258: libboost1.38-dev: Please downgrade libboost-doc to a Suggests

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: libboost1.38-dev
Version: 1.38.0-6
Severity: wishlist

Heya folks,

please, downgrade libboost1.38-doc to a Suggests. I mean, a *180MB*
package when one installs some -dev to get a package built is a bit
too heavy to be pulled by default, don't you think?

Thanks for considering.

Cheers,
