dbus-test-runner pulls in a lot of questionable dependencies

[Charles Kerr]

This may be intentional. If so, feel free to close this ticket.

When installing dbus-test-runner on the phone, I notice it's pulling in a lot of questionable dependencies. libgphoto? libgl1-mesa-glx? gphoto? heimdal? THE ATHENA WIDGET SET?!? :)

Does dbus-test-runner really use these (or have a runtime dependency on something that uses them?)

Those seem to be mostly due to the gvfs-backends dependency, not sure why it is needed though
