severity 415598 normal quit As per discussion on OpenHPI mailing list, in part:

The daemon > and client do not have to be on the same machine. The point in this is that there is value in keeping them separate, and it is a valid install to load only the library and not the daemon. Probably, the best solution is to use "Suggests:" so that there is a hint that the daemon is probably needed.
