Bug#627002: daisy-player: Should recommend udisks only, not depend on it.
Package: daisy-player
Version: 6.4.0-1
Severity: important
Hello,
daisy-player currently does not enter testing automatically because it's
non-installable on kfreebsd-*, because udisks is not available there.
Does the udisks dependency really need to be strict? As I understand
it, udisks is only a help to daisy-player, so it could be a Recommends
only, which nowadays has the same effect as a Depends (i.e. installed by
default), whithout making daisy-player uninstallable on all !linux
archs (yes, udisks is really a linux-only package)
