Package: tagainijisho
Version: 0.9.4-1
Severity: wishlist
As described in Debian Policy "7.2 Binary Dependencies ...":
| Packages should therefore avoid circular dependencies where possible,
| particularly if they have postinst scripts.
Well, there is no postinst scripts involved for tagainijisho. But still
it will be nice to have claner dependency.
People install tagainijisho. This is the most likely entry point.
There should be a pointer to all translation disctinaries from here.
If package is defined in "Depends" or "Recommends", their reverse
direction should be defined in "Suggests" to avoid circular
dependencies.
For non-English dictonary, we can use "Recommends" to tagainijisho since
they are merely "Suggests" in tagainijisho. (This does not work for
English.)
Thus I propose attached patch after applying patch propsed in the
Bug#672717.
