I don't think so since you cannot use libauthen-simple-perl alone you have to use it with libauthem-simple-[Net|Kerberos|...]-perl. > I mean, it looks almost certain that by installing lib*-krb5-perl one > intends to use Kerberos and thus krb5-config looks like a good candidate > for Recommends. libpam-krb5 and libapache2-mod-auth-kerb *depend* on > krb5-config. > > On the other hand, when installing libauthen-simple-perl, krb5 seems > like a remote dependency.

Note that some are missing because when I uploaded libauthen-simpe-perl, I was not thinking that I will package all the libauthen-simple-[..]-perl modules. For now libauthen-simple-perl Recommends: libauthen-simple-http-perl | libauthen-simple-pam-perl | libauthen-simple-passwd-perl | libauthen-simple-smb-perl | libauthen-simple-kerberos-perl So you suggest to put: libauthen-krb5-simple-perl libauthen-simple-cdbi-perl libauthen-simple-dbi-perl libauthen-simple-dbm-perl libauthen-simple-http-perl libauthen-simple-kerberos-perl libauthen-simple-ldap-perl libauthen-simple-net-perl libauthen-simple-pam-perl libauthen-simple-passwd-perl libauthen-simple-radius-perl libauthen-simple-smb-perl as Suggest instead of Recommends ? friendly, -- ,''`.
