[php-maint] Bug#183726: Why is this bug marked as Won't Fix?

[Dan Sully]

This is still an issue - php4-gd should *NOT* depend on libgd(2)-xpm - but
provide libgd(2)-noxpm as an alternate. Pulling in libgd(2)-xpm requires the
following packages:

Inst defoma (0.11.8-0.1 Debian:3.1r0/stable)
Inst libfreetype6 (2.1.7-2.4 Debian:3.1r0/stable)
Inst libfontconfig1 (2.3.1-2 Debian:3.1r0/stable) []
Inst ttf-bitstream-vera (1.10-3 Debian:3.1r0/stable) []
Inst fontconfig (2.3.1-2 Debian:3.1r0/stable)
Inst libjpeg62 (6b-10 Debian:3.1r0/stable)
Inst libpng12-0 (1.2.8rel-1 Debian:3.1r0/stable)
Inst xfree86-common (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Inst xlibs-data (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Inst libx11-6 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Inst libxpm4 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Inst libgd2-xpm (2.0.33-1.1 Debian:3.1r0/stable)
Inst libice6 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Inst libsm6 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Inst libxext6 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)
Inst libt1-5 (5.0.2-3 Debian:3.1r0/stable)
Inst php4-gd (4:4.3.10-16 Debian-Security:3.1/stable)

Which is ridiculous in a server environment, where one wants to keep the
number of packages & dependencies to a minimum.
