Bug#269309: apache2-common: should suggest/recommend rather than depend on lynx
Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.50-11
Severity: normal
rationale:
- the added functionality is minimal. Most, if not all, installations will
function perfectly well without lynx. Status indication is just a small,
optional function to the main function of the package: serving web pages.
According to policy 7.2, recommonds or suggest will thus suffice.
- lynx is more than twice the size of apache2
- a webbrowser doesn't belong on a server
