[QGIS-Developer] Why packaging python-gdal with Qgis3 ?

[David Marteau]

Hi,

Just a question: why python-gdal is still required for installing Qgis3 debian packages ? It adds a lot of unnecessary packages.

From 'apt show python3-qgis-common':
===
Package: python3-qgis-common
Version: 1:3.4.13+14stretch
Priority: optional
Section: python
Source: qgis
Maintainer: QGIS developers <qgis-developer at lists.osgeo.org>
Installed-Size: 14.8 MB
Depends: gdal-bin, python-gdal, python3-gdal, python3-matplotlib, libqgis-customwidgets (>= 1:3.4.13+14stretch), python3:any (>= 3.3.2-2~)
…
===

Thx,

David
