Package: octave
Version: 3.6.4-4+b2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Since Octave introduced its java-dependent gui (congrats) in v3.8.1, I
have been unable/unwilling to upgrade. I believe that these graphical
dependencies should be downgraded to *recommended* and/or a separate
octave-nox package--which installs only a terminal version of
octave--be provided.
Although I cannot find a section in the DPM which deals with this
situation, a number of related packages (e.g. emacs, gnuplot) follow
the practice of providing a terminal-only version of the package.
