The new version in sid pulls in 86.0 MB unnecessary junk on headless systems:

libaudio2 libcdt5 libcgraph6 libgvc6 libgvpr2 libmng1 libqtcore4 libqtgui4 qtcore4-l10n

qt, especially, in unacceptable.

The new depends in graphviz must be eliminated.

Anything which would require them should be in a separate package.

your wording in your message, "junk", "unacceptable", "eliminated" is not
acceptable. The package is currently maintained by the QA team, and can need
some help. So instead of shouting, just spend some time and send a patch. Thanks
for your understanding.

Gui libraries are withough question unnessesary junk on a headless server.

It is wrong and inappropriate to pretend otherwise.

And there was no shouting.  Just statements of fact.

Dot should not pull in qt.  Or gtk.

I can take a look into a fix; I don't know how long it'll take.
