Bug#378112: Depends vs. Recommends (Was: Bug#378112: ITP: gzrt -- gzip recovery toolkit)



Jens Peter Secher cites Policy:
>         The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is
>         required for the depending package to provide a significant

It has been (somewhat convincingly) argued that repairing broken tar.gz
is "a significant amount of functionality" a user gets from gzrt.

Kind regards
