Quoting #libreoffice-dev:

> Nov 27 10:07:19 <tml_> we have too much pontless optionality when configuring anyway, don't we?
> Nov 27 10:07:37 <sberg> Fridrich, yeah, it's not only relevant for Draw import, but indeed for all apps -- that's why I added it to the root module in the first place; I guess I'll create a fresh scp2-level module for it, and subsequent packaging mechanisms can then decide for themselves whether to make it an optional module in their packaging system (like Rene will apparently make it an extra deb package, but the Windows msi installer will likely always install it)

> Nov 27 10:07:56 <sberg> tml_, yes, even better
