Bug#599635: libqtgui4: Please change qt4-qtconfig Recommends to Suggests
Package: libqtgui4
Version: 4:4.6.3-3
Severity: normal
libqtgui4, as a library, primarily gets pulled in by programs which
depend on the library, rather than through explicit user installation.
Thus, a Recommends on qt4-qtconfig seems excessively strong,
particularly since Recommends get installed by default now. It seems
reasonable to Suggests that the user might want qt4-qtconfig to change
how qt programs look, but qt4-qtconfig does not seem like a package
"that would be found together with this one in all but unusual
installations".
Thanks,
Josh Triplett
