Package: packaging-manual
The current packaging-manual dictates how dselect reacts to relations
from packages. If you look at section 8.2 there are statements
such as:
`Recommends'
[...]
It is treated by `dselect' exactly as `Depends' is; this makes it
hard for the user to select things so as to leave `Recommends'
fields unsatisfied, but they are able to do so by being
persistent.
Similar statements are made for other relations.
I don't think the packaging-manual should dictate how dselect handles
relations. The current CVS version of dselect already changed its
behaviour somewhat making some of these statements false.
