[Bug 1982461] [NEW] [MIR] libgraphics-colornames-perl

[Lukas Märdian]

Public bug reported:

libgraphics-colornames-perl is pulled into main as a new "Recommends:"
of libchart-perl.

It is "only" used to resolve color names in the format of "pallet:name
-> ($r, $g, $b)" (e.g. "pallet:red -> (255, 0, 0)"). It's an optional
runtime dependency.

I think it should be dropped to a Suggests, as this doesn't seem to be
critical functionality that we'd want to support in "main".

OTOH, I started wondering why "libchart-perl" is in "main" in the first
place. Ignoring the new libgraphics-colornames-perl dependency for now,
it is a leave package itself:

$ reverse-depends src:libchart-perl
No reverse dependencies found

It is only pulled into main due to being listed in the "supported-
development-desktop" seed: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-
dev/ubuntu-
seeds/+git/platform/commit/?id=97eeea5a6320e2fe93836814e8be0782903067dc

I could not find any proper MIR and rational for it being seeded about
libchart-perl. So I wonder if we should drop it from the seed? Being
listed in a *-desktop seed maybe the Desktop team could answer if this
is still needed, and if so, if they want to take over the ownership of
this package from Foundations?
