Subject: elpa-lsp-haskell: recommends haskell-ide-engine and lsp-ui which are not in unstable Package: elpa-lsp-haskell Version: 1.0.20211214-1 Severity: minor User: [email protected] Usertags: package-relations
Dear maintainer, I see that the package elpa-lsp-haskell (version 1.0.20211214-1) recommends haskell-ide-engine and lsp-ui which are not in unstable. This can be seen in https://packages.debian.org/unstable/elpa-lsp-haskell Should it be dropped or changed? I notice that the recommended packages might exist outside Debian (not packaged for Debian). I don't know if they exist in .deb or something else. In here: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#binary-dependencies-depends-recommends-suggests-enhances-pre-depends It says: --- Recommends 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. --- At the moment I am with the opinion that packages outside Debian should not be in Recommends. But if you think otherwise perhaps can stay. Or perhaps this should be documented how to install them. So, I'm not sure if the bug is to be closed and that's all, drop the recommended packages or drop and document it, etc. Thank you, -- Carles Pina i Estany https://carles.pina.cat | [email protected] | [email protected]
