[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#416875: NTP depends on Perl

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2

Hi,

I've just spent some time trying to install a reasonably minimal
Debian system on a router.  To my dismay, there was no way I could get
rid of Perl, as the NTP daemon depends on it.

This dependency is not necessary, as the daemon itself doesn't need
perl -- it's only the accompanying scripts that do.

Please change the ``Depends: perl'' to a Suggests (or perhaps a Recommends).

Thanks,

                                        Juliusz
