Useless dependency libgcc_s.so.1 found in ironseed?
I was thinking about editing out fantasy from some games like ironseed, to only use the mechanic, at least on my computer, and I saw a "useless dependency"
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/ironseed/usr/games/is debian/ironseed/usr/libexec/ironseed/intro debian/ironseed/usr/libexec/ironseed/crewgen debian/ironseed/usr/libexec/ironseed/main were not linked against libgcc_s.so.1 (they use none of the library's symbols)
near the end of the
fakeroot apt-get source -b ironseed
build I was building.
I did not edit anything, I was just testing if this can compile, before I changed anything, it can but with that warning.
Is this a bug to report in the Trisquel gitlab issues, or is the dependency needed by something still in the package, so only the "warning" is bug like?
Thank you for the help

about the upstream url shown at https://trisquel.info/en/forum/useless-dependency-found
The game still builds with
fakeroot apt-get source -b ironseed
though I did not yet try to change the code to edit out whatever is linking to libgcc_s.so.1
so I do not know yet if it is a "useless dependency" or still may be needed to build or run ironseed even though the apt-get (I think) "warning" shows it may not be needed.
Maybe upstream is adding something with the dependency to the game in the future, or maybe upstream is removing something, so ironseed does not need the dependency now, though I do not know.
Will reporting here or upstream be better, and should the report be sent to ironseed or apt-get, to both or someone else?
I do not know if this is a ironseed bug or apt-get bug or bug in both.
