Currently e2fsprogs recommends e2fsprogs-l10n. In Debian Policy, it states:
This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency. The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations. It seems to me that po translation files are borderline considering it a "strong dependency". Is it really "the most unusual installations"? I wouldn't think so, but I acknowledge my privilege coming from a native English speaker. Given recent discussions about depends vs recommends vs suggests inflation, I'm thinking about down-prioritizing e2fsprogs-l10n from recommends to suggests. Thoughts, comments? - Ted
