[Bug 1982461] Re: [MIR] libgraphics-colornames-perl

[Didier Roche]

I have no objection and I don’t remember why this one was pulled in
main, let’s wait for seb's answer on this as he might have a better
memory than I do.

Title:
  [MIR] libgraphics-colornames-perl

Status in libchart-perl package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in libgraphics-colornames-perl package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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. 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?
