Package: libgstfarsight0.10-0
Version: 0.0.20-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
libgstfarsight0.10-0 is often installed as a dependency of
libpurple0 (pidgin and friends). Not everybody wants/uses
the full feature set of libgstfarsight0.10-0. See
bugs.debian.org/550918 as an example.
That said, I would suggest to
* As a minimum:
Change the Depends on gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad to a
Recommends. gstreamer*bad is named *bad for a reason. So
only recommending this seems very reasonable.
* Better:
Change both gstreamer0.10-plugins-good and -bad to
Recommends.
I have tested this. It does not break most of
the functionality of libpurple0.
Note: Recommends means "You REALLY should install this. If
you don't do it, expect missing functionality" which seems
appropiate here?
Thanks for your considerations
Elrond
