I'm sorry but I have to disagree here; it's "pretty clear" for you but I believe that there is no such thing as an absolute (nature|god|policy)-given truth; some people may think that the usage of Recommends is more or less correct, others my think that it's more or less incorrect but all we have is a hopefully respectful way to find a temporary consensus. (Why do I write such philsophical mails? Because I'm a bit concerned how often people confuse their perception with some kind of "reality"; and I had the hunch that this thread might also partially take this direction …) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation Europe `-
