I propose to move the 'poster' from depends into recommends. This enables the
installation even if the package is not present. And later we can decide
whether to take the package to the Trinity.
Regarding gnuift I propose to remove this dependency and build tdegraphics
without kmrml.

I looked at the status of packages that I
mentioned. It appears that both
are longer abandoned and that is not used practically nobody than
Trinity. It can therefore be assumed that the packages will not be
updated and no longer put back into the distribution.

https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/poster.html
Well, apparently we must decide how to leave these dependencies.
I looked for corresponding packages in openSUSE repos. There is a poster
package containing a script for printing of posters, but nothing resembling
that described on https://www.gnu.org/software/gift/ which was last updated
in 2011.
