Bug#495268: openssh-server: xauth should only be a Suggest
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:4.7p1-12
Severity: normal
The openssh-server package recommends xauth. Policy defines Recommends
as "used in all but unusual cases". IMHO X forwarding is not that common
altogether, so I think it should only be a Suggest.
