[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#807784: octave-optim suggests `lyx`

[Hormet Yiltiz]

Package: octave-optim
Version: 1.4.1-1+b1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.2

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   octave-optim suggests lyx, which is a office suite that makes working
   with LaTeX easy, and implements a way for reproducable research.
   However, `lyx` then depends on `texlive`, which is a heavy
   dependency. Octave-optim is a package of GNU Octave, which is used
   for scientific computation. octave-optim, being a package for a
   octave that does the computation, should NOT depend or suggest a 3rd
   party software that is not very related to its usage.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
   Looked at `apt-cache info octave-optim`
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   suggests `lyx`
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   does NOT suggests `lyx` or any texlive package.
