so you think we should:

Depend on: python-whisper AND python-ceres (Whisper replacement)

Suggests on: graphite-carbon

But since graphite-web needs filesystem access to the Whisper or Ceres
files you need some shared filesystem.

What are you using that Grpahite-Web can access Whisper files on the
other server?

The other solution is to install graphite-carbon and disable it in
etc/default/graphite-carbon.

Greets,
