+Info: The given package appears to be a library package, but it recommends
+ a documentation package.  Doing this can pull in unwanted (and often
+ large) documentation packages since recommends are installed by default
+ and library packages are pulled by applications that use them.  Users
+ usually only care about the library documentation if they're developing
+ against the library, not just using it, so the development package should
+ recommend the documentation instead.  If there is no development package
+ (for modules for scripting languages, for example), consider Suggests
+ instead of Recommends.
