Dear Maintainers,

I'm trying to reduce the size of the key_package set
https://release.debian.org/key-packages.html

pooch is such a key package,
and is transitively pulling python3-xxhash
into the set.

Please not the python3-xxhash build-dependency as <!nocheck>.

Beyond that, it might interresting to add python3-xxhash as a runtime "Suggets:"

Greetings

Alexandre


  doc/hashes.rst-Beyond hashing algorithms supported by ``hashlib``, Pooch supports algorithms
  doc/hashes.rst:provided by the `xxhash package <https://github.com/ifduyue/python-xxhash>`__.
  doc/hashes.rst:If the ``xxhash`` package is available, users may specify to use one of
  doc/hashes.rst-the algorithms provided by the package.

Control: tags -1 pending

This is implemented in git, all optional dependencies are now annotated with nocheck.

Although I think all optional dependencies should be Recommends rather than Suggests.

Now only tqdm is in Recommends with paramiko & xxhash in Suggests.

Kind Regards,

Bas

Thanks a lot
