Package: kdelibs-bin Version: 4:3.3.1-4 Severity: wishlist Hello, I just noticed that I cannot get rid of perl-suid on my machine, and I would quite like to. It has a poor track record WRT security, and I don't fully trust everyone with access to the machine. It appears that only 2 scripts in kdelibs-bin are suid perl scripts, and they are not 'essential' parts of the package, at least IMHO. Would it be possible to relax the Depends: to a Recommends: ? Installing from aptitude or one of the other frontends wil still pull in Recommends, allowing the package to work, but would me allow me to uninstall perl-suid and still keep KDE.
