[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#515186: xfdesktop4: Please only recommend xfce4-utils

I tend to disagree. I hardly ever install recommended packages and never
see anything break. Missing functionalities are OK, but not breakage.
I'm not really against putting xfce4-utils in the "Recommends" field,
but it shouldn't break anything. If it breaks anything, then the package
should depend on it.

If you really want to put it as a recommended package rather than a
dependency, I advise removing the bogus menu entries.

Cheers,
Xr
