Bug#747716: closed by Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer <perezmeyer@gmail.com> (Not a bug)
Hello and thanks for your kind words while closing the bug. As you may
have noticed I tried to elicit community opinion on debian-user, but
there weren't many responses -- just two, one for and one against. So
I guess it's going to be as it is.
But at least please update the packaging documentation on Depends and
Recommends to clarify that when a package contains multiple "program"s
[that word nowadays seems quite archaic! :-)], the dependency of only
one of those programs will be considered a Recommends and not a
Depends.
Thank you.
