It's technically correct. You can Suggests: something from non-free, but you cannot Recommends: it. Now, what you are suggesting is like saying that VLC should be shipped with films, or that users should create them from scratch, because there's none in Debian. That doesn't make sense! It's perfectly valid to keep a software in main, even if that said software doesn't have any data to run with. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
