What's wrong with Recommends: in that case? It seems to perfectly match the "makes life easier for <common but not universal use-case XXX>" scenario you describe. A hard package-dependency in a case like this, when there isn't actually any hard functional dependency, and there are issues with the depended-upon package, are decidedly user-unfriendly. [Yeah, the various desktops tend to abuse hard-dependencies in a lot of other ways, but ... in most cases this just results in bloat. NM is a bit worse than that.] -Miles -- Brain, n.
