Hi,
gnome-mag in Debian build-depends on libcolorblind-dev; the colorblind
library is the work of Debian Developer Daniel Ruoso and helps
gnome-mag to render graphics in a more accesible way for colorblind
people.
Colorblind support in gnome-mag landed in 0.14.0 (we're at 0.14.10 at
the moment of writing) and is now listed in:
- external GNOME (build-)dependencies
<http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyone/ExternalDependencies>
- gnome-mag's FAQ entry "What are the dependencies needed to install a
fully functional magnifier?" <http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMag/FAQ>
Being written and maintained by a Debian Developer and the Debian
gnome-mag Maintainer, colorblind is a pretty quiet upstream and Debian
package:
<http://alioth.debian.org/projects/colorblind/>
<http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/colorblind.html>
I don't think gnome-mag is particularly security sensitive piece of
code, nor that colorblind adds any security threat.
library's Installed-Size: 72; the biggest part below
/usr/share/doc/libcolorblind0, the shared lib itself is less than 7KB
at the moment.
I propose colorblind for promotion to main as to provide a fully
featured gnome-mag to end users.
Bye,
NB: not colorblind myself.
