zenity (3.44.0-2) experimental; urgency=medium
* Team upload
* d/control.in, d/rules: Disable WebKit integration (--html option).
This adds several "heavy" dependencies, notably WebKit itself, but
also video and spellchecking among others, which are undesired for
a simple interactive dialog.
The WebKit feature is disabled by default upstream, and several
major distributions (including at least the Fedora/Red Hat family,
Arch and openSUSE) don't enable it in their packaging, so portable
software cannot rely on this option being available. According to
codesearch.debian.net, none of the packages with a dependency on
zenity use the --html option.
The beginning of the Debian 13 cycle seems a good time to make this
sort of potentially disruptive change; most likely nobody will notice
this feature going away, but if we get bug reports, we can consider
other options such as having a zenity-minimal package without HTML
support, or having a zenity-full package with it.
