Bug#419581: xvfb-run: Should depend on xbase-clients: xauth command not found



        Hi Kurt,

 We had an IRC conversation on this topic with jcristau this morning,
 and he explained that he thinks the Recommends is enough or even too
 much already because Xvfb is a significant amount of functionality
 provided by the xvfb package.

 My personal opinion is that a lot of use cases for depending on xvfb
 are build-deps, but I was told during that conversation that Xvfb can
 be used in embedded environments where the deps should be as small as
 possible.

 While thinking at the root of the problem (the build-deps did not
 follow a recommends), I wonder whether you'll let APT honor recommends
 when it does so by default, or whether you'll configure it specially
 not to so?

   Bye,
