No idea on that, it’d probably be a good signal, but not help with the other frontends and not be good enough of a fix to be a candidate for the release. Plus, I recommend Debian users to disable automatic installation of Recommends (though I look at them when they’re shown by apt). > (No idea about the other frontends.)
