[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#640332: please weaken dependency on info

[Barak A. Pearlmutter]

Package: octave3.2-info
Version: 3.2.4-11

Thanks for maintaining octave, it is a big job and it is great to have
in Debian.

Currently octave3.2-info
 Depends: info (>= 3.22)
which is annoying if one reads info with emacs, and does not wish to
install that particular info browser.
A quick scan using
 apt-cache show $(apt-cache -n search '^[a-z0-9-]*-info' | awk '{print $1}') |  more
shows that this is the only package named *-info which actually
Depends on info alone.  The gsl-doc-info package instead has
 Suggests: info | info-browser
which seems like the most reasonable option to me.

					Cheers,

					--Barak.
