Bug#802909: firmware-nonfree: turn meta-package Depends into Recommends



Source: firmware-nonfree
Version: 20151018-2
Severity: wishlist


Hi.

Could you please turn all the Depends of the meta-packages into
Recommends?

It doesn'ts seem to make much sense to force e.g. everyone who wants
to install firmware-linux-nonfree to have to install firmware-amd-graphics
as well.
But it makes sense for people to to install e.g. firmware-misc-nonfree
respectively firmware-linux and just those actual firmware packages they
want - the former can then be marked non-Auto, while the later are marked
auto... and that makes it easier to handle firmware package on systems
with different "actual" firmware package (like those having AMD GPUs
and those not).

Cheers,
Chris.
