Bug#598358: kde-standard: please change "recommends update-notifier-kde" to "suggests"



Package: kde-standard
Version: 5:64
Severity: normal

In the Debian Bug report log - #585097 it was demonstrated that
having update-notifier-kde installed annoys many users, create compatibility problems...
The bug was closed by changing the dependencies of kde-standard from "depends on update-notifier-kde"
to "recommends update-notifier-kde".

I would ask you to consider moving the package from "recommends" to "suggests"
because many users have the apt option "install recommends" activated
which enforces the automatic (re-)installation of the package,
and getting read of it becomes difficult/tedious.

Thanks
