Description:

As shown below, the package i3status has a strict dependency on wireless_tools:

Repository : community
Name : i3status
Version : 2.10-1
Depends On : wireless_tools confuse yajl libpulse libnl

Nevertheless, nothing from wireless_tools is currently used in i3status, and, AFAICT, it had never been the case.

This dependency is not mentioned either on the documentation written by its maintainer.

For these reasons, I suggest that we completely remove this dependency.

Thank you by advance.
