The changes were made due to your recommendations, you stated [1]:

Hence, m17n-lib deb recommends m17n-db & m17n-contrib.
Furthermore, you stated [1]:

Hence, m17n-db & m17n-contrib debs depend on libm17n-0.
Have you changed your mind? If so, perhaps you should begin by modifying
the configure.ac files in m17n CVS?

As m17n-db and m17n-contrib are just a collection of data,
in the strict meaning of "dependencey", they depend on
nothing. And, m17n-lib just works better with m17n-db and
m17n-contrib; they are not requisite.
And, m17n-docs is just a documentation package.

As I wrote above, there's no strict dependency. That's why
their configure.ac don't require each other. But
considering that the large majority of m17n-lib users are
for inputting method at the moment, it may be convenient for
users to make m17n-db and m17n-contrib depend on m17n-lib.
