Other packages *in Debian* will not. I actually build a pile of personal metapackages to set up systems, and many of their dependencies are metapackages. If metapackages start using Recommends, that would be quite inconvenient, as it would mean that I'd have to manually copy the list of dependencies into my metapackage (and update it if the set of needed packages changes) rather than just depending on the metapackage. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
