Hi sympa maintainers,

I am looking at the dependencies of the sympa package (I'm writing a
sympa puppet module) and I have questions about a few

1. can the doc-base Recommends be dropped?
2. Text::Wrap appears to be in perl-base, can the libtext-wrap-perl
  Suggests be removed? 
3. libnet-ldap-perl is currently a depends, could it be demoted to
  Recommends/Suggests for people not using LDAP? (maybe the code still
  has a hard requirement?)
4. should the libdbd-* depends be OR'd together with the preferred one
  first (probably mysql since in the recommends you have "mysql-server |
  postgresql")
5. is libmsgcat-perl used? Maybe just in the build and could be a
  Build-dep instead?
6. is a depends on sqlite3 needed? if libdbd-sqlite3-perl is installed
  then shouldn't the right stuff be installed?

Thanks,
