Bug#599633: xterm: Please document reason for x11-utils recommends
Package: xterm
Version: 261-1
Severity: normal
xterm Recommends: x11-utils
Please consider noting the reason for this recommendation in the package
description. A quick review of the contents of x11-utils didn't suggest
any obvious reason why xterm might want it.
Also, the alternative recommendation for the old xutils metapackage
doesn't even apply to the lenny release, which already had xutils as a
transitional package. Please consider dropping the xutils alternative.
