True. However, lets not forget that this is supposed to apply to suggests as well, for which this information would be more useful.

That is the assumption that isn't accurate, in my experience. The maintainer often will have a different opinion on what is the common use of a program. While most of the time you can guess why a package has been recommended, sometimes the relation isn't obvious, and a hint would be helpful. OTOH, I'm not going to implement any of this, so I'll just shut up, and apologise for the noise. -- Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
