It's not really clear to me when to optdepend.
Comments welcome. My idea is to use optdepends for things the user may want, but it's not obvious how to make them work, like a glue-library the application needs to use another facility, e.g. gpgme to use gpg, or ghostscript to produce PDF.
I'd generally expect an optdepends for something which the program has a built-in ability to use simply by installing the optdepends. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
