But imho the dependeny of kdenetwork-filesharing towards perl-suid is "absolute", because without perl-suid kdenetwork-filesharing is broken. And it is broken in "all" installations. Therefore afaiu it should depend on perl-suid: From the same page: » Depends ========== This declares an absolute dependency.[...] The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required for the depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality. « perl-suid does not only "provide a significant amount of functionality", without perl-suid the package kdenetwork-filesharing is _broken_ > > apt-get warns you about which packages are recommended apt-get does not "warn" me.
