[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#849017: xapps-common: loosen dependency on gist, inxi and future ones

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: xapps-common
Severity: wishlist


Hey.

Could the dependencies on such things like gist, inxi (or perhaps even
that on xapps-common by the cinnamon packages itself) be loosened?

AFAICT I'd never use these thing,...
gist - why depending on some proprietary vendor (gist.github.com) specific
       thing, that just eases to accidentally upload stuff to the public
inxi - similar here, why having a system information collection script, if
       that just makes it likely that something actually uses it and leaks
       privacy data


Would be nice if such (current and future) things could be made optional.

Cheers,
Chris.
