The reason I choose weak dependencies is because this is package will mostly will be used in a terminal. Some other functionality need the optional dependencies. So if you're running a bare install i.e. a server, then you won't be in favor (I guess) to install all these extra stuff, you won't need on a system without a GUI.

Which won't apply to a server without a desktop environment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
