Circular dependencies are not a good idea
Hi Jeroen,
I'd disagree with your opinion that this issue (abuse-lib should depend
on abuse) is really a bug.
You are suggesting something that would create a circular dependency
which is something e.g. apt doesn't always handle optimally.
A similar example is e.g. tetex-base which doesn't depend on tetex-bin
for exactly this reason.
As long as non-fulfillable are treated as RC bugs the current Recommends
is enough since a missing abuse in sarge is then a reason for a RC bug
on abuse-lib also causing the removal of abuse-lib from sarge.
