So I > would probably keep it propagated. I do not remember anymore, although it was me to do it (well, in April 2014). At some point in time doxygen depended on graphviz, then the dependency was dropped according to the changelog on the web site. But this was before I added it, so you may be right. Does it have any impact on packages that depend on doxygen? I wonder if this is not a case where we should leave it to the user to install or not the additional program, since doxygen should still be functional without this feature? Andreas
