[bug #42698] Recommended future steps for gnustep-dl2 debian package maintenance

[Yavor Doganov]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #42698 (project gnustep):

I am not sure it was in the same discussion.  Anyway.  The dependency on
Renaissance is not a problem at all.

It is exactly what we are doing.

Perhaps we should use the opportunity of the soname bump (all GDL2 libraries
need it AFAICT) to split the package in a better way.  You are correct that
the right split is into non-gui and gui stuff.  Maybe we could lump the
adaptors together (MySQL+Postgres in one package) at the expense of the
gui<->non-gui split.  That's what I did for SQLClient (all 4 bundles in the
library package), as it doesn't make sense to have separate packages for a few
KB.
The additional dependency on libmsysqlclient or libpq is negligible compared
to the things GUI/Back pull in.
