Circular dependencies



So, it has been repeated over and over that circular dependencies are bad
form, maybe even bugs. Still, there are packages for which they seem to be 
the only reasonable choice, like liferea-gtkhtml, completely useless
without liferea, which in turn depends on liferea-gtkhtml | liferea-xulrunner
because it is completely useless without (at least) one of them.

So, does one break the no-circular-dependencies rule here? Get one of the packages
to Recommend: the other? Downgrade and wontfix the bug report (#386685)
with a link to the thread on -devel? Close it?
