Use this if your program absolutely will not run (or will cause severe breakage) unless a particular package is present. Recommends: Frontends such as dselect or aptitude will prompt you to install the recommended packages along with your package; dselect will even insist. dpkg and apt-get will ignore this field, though. Use this for packages that are not strictly necessary but are typically used with your program. Suggests: When a user installs your program, all frontends will likely prompt them to install the suggested packages. dpkg and apt-get won't care. Use this for packages which will work nicely with your program but are not at all necessary. In this case, I think, the konqueror service menus, absolutely will not run unless konqueror package is present. Is konqueror not strictly necessary?

What about kpdf-util ? kpdf is another software, this service menus are "plugins" for konqueror. like nautilus action. > 'Service Menu Pack' is a distortion of what the package contains.

Servicemenus are defined using ".desktop" files, which are the same kind of files that are used to create entries in the K Menu or on the KDE desktop. smp is acronimous for "Service Menus Pack" .desktop files are generic type file, for launching apps or create menu entry or servicemenu or other. Can I rename in konq-pdfsmp. Maybe better? Regards
