Bug#599649: texlive-pstricks: Please document reasons for recommends on ps2eps, texlive-extra-utils, and texlive-font-utils



Package: texlive-pstricks
Version: 2009-10
Severity: normal

texlive-pstricks Recommends several other packages: ps2eps,
texlive-extra-utils, and texlive-font-utils.  However, texlive-pstricks
does not give any indication of what it needs these packages for, making
it difficult for the user to determine whether to install them.
texlive-pstricks-doc seems rather obvious, but for the rest, please
consider documenting in the package description what texlive-pstricks
uses those packages for.  Please also consider for each whether they
should use "Recommends" or "Suggests", since Recommends now get
instlaled by default.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
