Hello people, Some of my packages have a separate -locales or -languages package that (indeed) contains the locales of my package. E.g. squirrelmail has a companion squirrelmail-locales that you need if you want to use SquirrelMail in a language other than English. Let's take that package as an example. My question is what relationship I should specify in the squirrelmail package w.r.t. squirrelmail-locales: Depends, Recommends, or Suggests? I've looked but could not find anything in the Debian Policy or other materials that has a 'standard' or 'best practice' for it. I'm pretty sure that Depends is not right: the squirrelmail package is completely usable without s-l to those that only need an English interface. Recommends or Suggests is a bit trickier. Recommends is about "all but unusual installations", and Suggests claims "that installing this one without them is perfectly reasonable". Is there any common policy for which I should choose? And if not, what are your opinions on this matter? Regards Thijs Kinkhorst
