Bug#599654: texlive-fonts-extra: Please document reason for recommends on texpower, and please consider downgrading it
Package: texlive-fonts-extra
Version: 2009-10
Severity: normal
texlive-fonts-extra recommends texpower, but does not give any
description of why it wants texpower. This makes it difficult to decide
whether to install the recommended package. It seems non-obvious why a
fonts package would recommend texpower. Please consider documenting the
reason for this recommendation in the package description, and please
consider downgrading it to a suggests.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett
