Package: lmms Version: 1.1.3-7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
"lmms" currently has an absolute "Depends" relation on "calf-ladspa". however, "lmms" works fine without the calf-ladspa plugins available (e.g. kxstudio provides an empty calf-ladspa plugin just to fullfill the Dependency, and it seems that people are not really complaining). i would therefore suggest to demote the relationship to "Recommends", as explained in the Debian Policy ยง7.2: > Recommends > This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency. > The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together > with this one in all but unusual installations. This is somewhat related to #870473 (once the relationship is declared as non-absolute, the "calf-plugins" package could declare a "Breaks" relationship on "calf-ladspa"; allowing "lmms" to be co-installed with "calf-plugins" and "ardour" still working)
