Package: rhythmbox Version: 0.9.3.1-1 Severity: normal Rhythmbox maintainer said [1] that one of the important features of rhythmbox, and the reason why it tries to pull in avahi-daemon through Recommends:, is that the music sharing feature is very important in this software.
However:
- there is no mention of music sharing capabilities (or it being a required
feature) in the package description
- music sharing is not described in the software documentation ("Music
Player Manual"):
$ grep -ri sharing /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/rhythmbox/
$
- the README.Debian file does not explain why avahi-daemon is Recommend:ed
If music sharing is an (important) feature of the program it should be
documented. If a network service is required, and should be installed by
Debian users, it should be documented in the README.Debian file.
