debian: crda package depends on iw?

[Luca Coelho]

Hi Ben,

I just noticed that the crda package depends on the iw package in Debian
(I'm using jessie):

luca@weizen:~$ apt-cache show crda
Package: crda
Version: 3.13-1
Installed-Size: 293
Maintainer: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
Architecture: amd64
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), libnl-3-200 (>= 3.2.7), libnl-genl-3-200 (>= 3.2.7), libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0), wireless-regdb, iw (>= 3.2-1~)
Description-en: wireless Central Regulatory Domain Agent
 This package provides a Central Regulatory Domain Agent (CRDA) to be used by
 the Linux kernel cfg80211 wireless subsystem to query and apply the regulatory
 domain settings wireless devices may operate within for a given location.
 .
 CRDA queries operational frequency regulations stored within the regulatory
 database provided by the wireless-regdb package.

Is there a specific reason for this or is it just accidental?

setregdomain is a script that runs iw.

Ah, okay, thanks for clarifying! I wasn't expecting this dependency.
