Hi, what I am really missing in the current dependency scheme is WHY some packages define Recommends and Suggests on specific other packages. My problem with the current situation that you either do the policy of always installing such stuff or you don't. There is no way to decide case by case because there is definitely information missing in the description of packages. OK, some of those are obvious but some Recommends and Suggests are completely mysterious to me. And even after installation, I still don't know how those additional packages do extend/improve/whatever the originally wanted package. It would be nice if maintainers of packages with Recommends and Suggests that are non-obvious could state in the package description a reason for each of them. If I file bugs about them, which severity can this be given? HS
