Package: dotfile Version: 2.3b2-1 When using dselect, the Recommends dependancy on dotfile-module (>= 1:2.3b2-1) makes dselect want to install all available dotfile modules. The conflict resolution screen doesn't give the opportunity to deselect the unwanted ones. The net effect is that all dotfile modules must be installed when using dselect.
I propose that the version number be removed from that Recommends line in the debian/control file, since the dotfile-* packages don't provide any specific version of the dotfile-module pseudopackage. I'm using Debian potato, dpkg version 1.4.1.4 (soon to be 1.4.1.6)
