Difference Dependency-Recommendation



Hi!

I don't quite understand the difference between "Dependency" and
"Recommendation", two terms that commonly occur when talking about
Debian's packet management system. I think both have the same result: the
packet (usually, unless explicitly overridden) gets installed. So, why was
there a need for such a distinction?

Thanks in advance for any hints!

Greetings,

	Holger
