Bug Description

qt3-assistant (639K) depends on qt3-doc (26.5MB), is this really necessary? Because qcad-doc (3.7MB) depends on qt3-assistant it makes for an obese install.

why is qt3-doc package is required for qt3-assistant? qt3-assistant package works fine without qt3-doc package, which contains Qt3 API documentation - look at the description:

Package: qt3-doc
Qt3 API documentation
This package contains the complete API documentation for Qt3. Examples to coding are in qt3-examples. The documentation is provided in HTML and manpage format; the HTML version can be viewed in conjunction with the Qt Assistant.

AFAIK qt3-assistant should suggests or recommend qt3-doc package (26 Mb size) instead of depending on if.

It seems this bug is not relevant now: old QT3 libraries - qt-x11-free source package is removed from Ubuntu and Debian since 2012 and
QCAD uses QT4 since version 3.1 (now 3.4.5) - QCAD 3.1 has been released as open source (GPLv3) since June 2013!
See bug #1194504 for more info about new QCAD 3.x
