Should tetex-bin really Suggest: lpr?

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Hi,

I just wondered why tetex-bin Suggests: lpr.  Today, many people use
alternatives like cupsys or lprng.  But it doesn't seem to be common to
depend on printing functionality - otherwise there would probably exist
a virtual package "lp" or something.  Anyway - if people want to print
on a machine, they'll probably want that anyway, whether TeX is
installed or not.  On the other hand, if a machine doesn't need printing
functionality (e.g. because it is a server that creates different output
for users to download), this won't change after TeX is installed
(e.g. to produce pdf files).

Therefore I am inclined to remove the Suggests: lpr, instead of
substituting it by a list of printing alternatives.  What do you think? 

Regards, Frank
