Bug#585097: kde-standard: change update-notifier-kde from depends to recommends

[Alan BRASLAU <alan.braslau@cea.fr>]

Package: kde-standard
Version: 5:62
Severity: normal


kde-standard recommends freespacenotifier and network-manager-kde.
update-notifier-kde should also have the status of "recommends", not "depends".
Indeed, these are all quite *invasive* background daemons that should not
be imposed on kde-standard users. The current situation forced me
to uninstall the kde-standard meta-package and to manually select
many of its components.

Note that these daemons may break other standard Debian system functionality
(network-manager breaks standard wpa-suppleant usage, update-notifier breaks
other packages making use of motd, for example).

Also, but this is a matter of (good) taste, such daemons "smell" of
Microsoft Windows practices, not standard unix-like administration.
Let users choose this if they wish, perhaps through another metapackage.

Thank you.

Alan
