Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 7.2-5
This package Recommends several other packages with which it does not have a "strong, but not absolute dependency", such as xserver-xorg-video-all which in turns depends on every video display driver in Debian. The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with xserver-xorg in all but unusual installations. On the contrary, most installations have only the one driver for the display adapter used on that system, and it would not even be unusual to have none of these specific drivers installed. Recommending these packages entails that they will all by default be installed unnecessarily on most systems. Please replace these Recommends with Suggests.
