Better do not use strict Depends in metapackages [Was: ros-metapackages is marked for autoremoval from testing]
Hi,
since we just discussed about ros metapackages I'd like to give the
following hint here: Its best practice to not use Depends but rather
Recommends in metapackages. One reason is that metapackages will not
be removed for reasons like the ones below.
Kind regards
Andreas.
