Public bug reported:
aptdaemon's package as it stands recommends lintian. This means that
lintian gets installed by default in Ubuntu, and any flavours that use
Firefox by default, as Ubufox depends on aptdaemon, OR that install the
ubuntu-drivers-common packages by default, which I image is most of
them. Lintian pulls a load of perl dependencies with it that are not
used for anything else. Downgrading the recomment of lintian to a
suggest would obviate this; anyone who knows what lintian is knows
enough to install it, and it's not something the average user (or even a
power user who does not develop Debian packages) needs to have installed
by default.
** Affects: aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
