While I can see what you're trying to achieve here, in the particular case of chocolate-doom, this change makes chocolate-doom RC-buggy for recommending packages outside of main: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html 2.2.1 The main archive area [...] * must not require or recommend a package outside of main for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Pre-Depends", "Depends", "Recommends", "Build-Depends", or "Build-Depends-Indep" relationship on a non- main package), cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
