Puzzling text in science- metapackage descriptions

[Ben Armstrong <synrg@sanctuary.nslug.ns.ca>]

Is this explanation in some of the science metapackage descriptions
really necessary?

 Please note
 that packages listed as "recommended" may not be installed by
 default, and that packages listed as "suggested" will not be
 installed unless the user asks for them to be installed.


$ apt-cache search "packages listed as"
science-astronomy-dev - Debian Science Astronomy-dev packages
science-engineering-dev - Debian Science Engineering-dev packages
science-mathematics-dev - Debian Science Mathematics-dev packages
science-meteorology-dev - Debian Science Meteorology-dev packages
science-nanoscale-physics-dev - Debian Science Nanoscale Physics
development packages
science-nanoscale-physics - Debian Science Nanoscale Physics packages


The package description seems to be the wrong place to be instructing
users on the difference between Recommends and Suggests. Moreover, the
same is true of every metapackage with a combination of suggests and
recommends, not just the ones listed here ...  I don't really think we
want the same explanation copied everywhere.

Regards,
Ben
