Remember the difference between Recommends and Suggests. By making it
Recommends, users blindly installing prboom will still get freedm on
their system as Recommends is installed by default, so these users will
not be disadvantaged. The advantage of having Recommends instead of
Depends is that users such as antiNeo get the choice of removing the
unwanted packages when they just want to use prboom with wad files.

The doom-package description says "Currently doom-package supports DOOM
2 only", so unfortunately this is still not a solution. In any case, the
user should be able to use plain wad files if that's what they decide to
do.

I cannot see any disadvantage in switching Depends to Recommends in this
case. Thanks Jon for taking interest in this issue; it would be great if
the patch can be made upstream.
