** Description changed:

  libgraphics-colornames-perl is pulled into main as a new "Recommends:"
  of libchart-perl.
  
  It is "only" used to resolve color names in the format of "pallet:name
  -> ($r, $g, $b)" (e.g. "pallet:red -> (255, 0, 0)"). It's an optional
  runtime dependency.
  
  I think it should be dropped to a Suggests, as this doesn't seem to be
  critical functionality that we'd want to support in "main".
  
  OTOH, I started wondering why "libchart-perl" is in "main" in the first
  place. Ignoring the new libgraphics-colornames-perl dependency for now,
  it is a leave package itself:
  
  $ reverse-depends src:libchart-perl
  No reverse dependencies found
  
  It is only pulled into main due to being listed in the "supported-
  development-desktop" seed: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-
  dev/ubuntu-
  seeds/+git/platform/commit/?id=97eeea5a6320e2fe93836814e8be0782903067dc
  
- I could not find any proper MIR and rational for it being seeded about
- libchart-perl. So I wonder if we should drop it from the seed? Being
- listed in a *-desktop seed maybe the Desktop team could answer if this
- is still needed, and if so, if they want to take over the ownership of
- this package from Foundations?
