libvirt-bin pulls in avahi and dbus, which are surely not required
to run libvirt-bin. Please loosen the dependency and make it
a recommendation.

libvirt-bin depends on the avahi/dbus *libs* since it links against
them.

retitle 506444 should dlopen(3) avahi and dbus libraries to reduce required dependencies
thanks
It would be nice if it did and it will be a lot easier to do this with
0.5.0 but that's quiet different from saying that we should move
required dependencies into Recommends. But maybe I just misunderstood
your request in the first place.
Cheers,

I didn't quite put it succinctly, but yes, this is what I meant.
Thanks!
