Hi lintian team,

With Install-Recommends being the default, I've noticed that a lot of
documentation packages are pulled in.  These are sometimes large and not
strictly "[should] be found together with this one [package] in all but
unusual installations".

- From policy 7.2 Binary Dependencies - Depends, Recommends, Suggests, Enhances,
Pre-Depends

Recommends

    This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.

    The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together
    with this one in all but unusual installations.

Suggests

    This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or
    more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user that
    the listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance its
    usefulness, but that installing this one without them is perfectly
    reasonable.

It would be good if there were a lintian warning or informational tag like
doc-package-in-recommends with a suggestion that the dependency be downgraded
to suggests.

Thank you for your work on lintian.

Giridhar
