Package: hwtools
Version: 0.6-2
Severity: normal
Since I have no SCSI devices on my system, it is mildly
annoying that dselect keeps on wanting me to install
scsitools, because it is recommended by hwtools, which
I do use.
This would not be a problem if the recommendation was
downgraded to a suggestion.

This will be done in woody+1 distribution, not sooner, because otherwise
people using the SCSI stuff from hwtools before might get screwed if we
use just suggests.
