The lib packages do depend on the -data packages, and suggest -doc
packages. I'm therefore going to follow your suggestion and remove the
Recommends statements from the -data and -doc packages.
There is also a "paw-demos" package containing example files to be used
with PAW, so I changed it from Recommending paw to Depending upon it (on
the assumption that no one would be playing with the example PAW scripts
without having PAW installed anyway).
That takes care of the Recommends. A lot of the Depends in cernlib are
from Arch: all scripts and metapackages that can't be satisfied on
64-bit arches, but I guess this is OK.
Thank you for the advice,
