Ubuntu way, AFAIK:
-) Depends means LyX would be totally broken without them, e.g., you
wouldn't be able to launch LyX, thus there's no way to install LyX
without its dependencies, unless you're an advanced user, you know what
you're doing, you like to use the command-line and the "--force" flags,
ignoring any warning you get about things that may get broken afterwards
-) Recommends means the average user probably needs this as well, so
it's also pulled in by default, unless the user explicitly decides to
skip them (command-line with --no-install-recommends, probably there are
similar options in some GUI tool)
-) Suggests means if you like to have a complete installation with all
possible features, then install these as well (command-line with
--install-suggests, or likely using some GUI tool)
Thanks for the explanation. So recommend and depends are the things that
count in practice.
That suits me well.
