Subject: dvbackup: recommends rsbep which is not in unstable
Package: dvbackup
Version: 1:0.0.4-11
Severity: minor

Dear maintainer,
I see that the package dvbackup (version 1:0.0.4-11) recommends rsbep
which is not in unstable.
This can be seen in https://packages.debian.org/unstable/dvbackup
Should it be dropped or changed?
I see that rsbep is mentioned in https://dvbackup.sourceforge.net/ .
But I think that have never been packaged in Debian. Since Debian policy
about recommends:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
Says:
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.
I think that rbsep should not be in Recommends. Perhaps in Suggests (but
I am not sure how adequate is to mention packages that are not in Debian
in there either).
Thank you,
