Could someone with deeper insight in the ardour3 package enlighten me:
why on earth does ardour3 depend on python-gtk2 and (!sic) python-twisted?
Python-twisted is an application framework for internet/event-based
applications. Why does ardour3 pull in such a monster framework?

Most likely, because I did it wrong.
I've checked the repo, and apparently, I've copied the relevant line
from the previous ardour2 package and never checked if it was really
necessary.
Frankly, I don't even know offhand if ardour2 needs it.
So you're saying we can drop it?
Cheers

Sorry, I started to investigate myself - I think this is caused
by "tools/session_exchange.py" which imports both gtk and twisted.internet.
I've no idea haow useful/neccessary this script is (I tried it but it refused
to accept my ardour sessions).
Looking at the list of files
(http://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/ardour3/filelist)
it looks as if the script isn't even included in the debian package. So, maybe
dropping python:Depends would be a good idea.
Thanks for your work

this is broken for ardour3 (some interested person could fix it and then
get into the whole SeX (Session Exchange) idea.
there is also tools/synthesize_sources.pl which appears to create a perl
dependency but (a) is for developers debugging issues (b) is also broken
for ardour3.

According to <http://packages.debian.org/sid/ardour3>, there is no perl
dependency. Which makes sense, since the python stuff was explicitly
requested and not automatically triggered.

Well, thank's for the quick response.
