The reason the Recommends were changed is that on upgrades the Depends: on xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-1.0 were insufficient to pull in xserver-xorg-video-all on upgrade in many cases. I don't know whether adding in the -vesa is going to make a difference, but using packaging tools that ignore recommends is... not recommended. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
