In my opinion, gwenview recomminding kamara is the correct behavior and inline with policy. If I install an app, Recommends should pull in everything that would make all the buttons in the GUI work correctly. I shouldn’t have to manually install anything else for them to work. Kamera should definitely be in Recommends for gwenview (although not in depends). If you don’t want that, set your system to not automatically install recommended packages, and then you can manually install whatever you want to get all the features of the app to work correctly. But please don’t mess up Recommends working correctly for the rest of us. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
