After spending all day researching this, I have determined that if we use Recommends, dpkg will not provide any facility for telling the user about recommended packages. This seems like a much worse situation than extra packages getting installed, so I am marking the bug as WONTFIX. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9051 --- Comment #2 from Robin Sheat <robin@catalyst.net.nz> --- That's not quite true. The splits I want to make are: * Depends * Build-depends * Recommends or suggests Typically, recommends are pulled in and suggests aren't. This is configurable (usually I turn on no-recommends on servers.) apt-get/aptitude will do whatever the configuration says, also it means that if you remove one of these, it doesn't mark the primary package as broken. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
