Oh OK, I see.

I think what I had in mind at the time was:
 - the current behaviour (pulling stuff through Recommends) is fine
   enough for most use cases; at least Steve agrees with me on this.
 - but if recommends are disabled entirely, maybe we could skip
   installing shim-signed, to avoid the “nonsensical” combination
   pointed out by Ben; I was welcoming a bug report for that second
   point, rather than for the first one. Otherwise we would have just
   reassigned the initial report instead of closing it.

Hope it clarifies.


Cheers,
