Bug 19542 introduced the harder dependency but failed to add it to PerlDependencies.pm
I am not sure if this should be a hard dependency - as long as Koha is supposed to work without Elasticsearch - for an enhancement that just displays Elasticsearch infos when Elasticsearch is activated (as far as I understand) Could we tie loading the module to a condition like the SearchEngine syspref setting instead or does that not make sense?

I've always been strongly against having 'Break Koha' option switches. I think the SearchEngine syspref is a 'Break Koha' option switch as long as Elasticsearch Perl dependencies are not shipped/pulled. I agree we can workaround the about.pl problem. But we still have break switches.
There has been talk about getting ElasticSearch production ready for 18.05 - I think if that is the goal, we should ship with the dependency. Is it hard to pack or are there other reasons against it? Size?

Is it hard > to pack or are there other reasons against it? Size? We already have it. It's just not needed without actually using ES. So far we have not added ES dependencies as mandatory to allow Koha to be run Zebra-only. Maybe it's not really an important question. AFAIK libsearch-elasticsearch-perl does not depend on actually installing Elasticsearch, so Zebra users don't have extra work. I agree with Tomas that having setting options that kill Koha is not a good thing. I'll reset to needs signoff, feel free to go back to more discussion if needed.
My bad, there is no code to sign off :D

Pushed to master for 18.05, thanks to everybody involved!
Is this suitable for backporting Mirko? or is anything else needed?
