In Debian blends (which Debian Edu is one variant of, esp. the education-*-* packages), the Suggests: field is programmatically used for software that is not available in Debian testing. This could imply that the software is not in Debian, but we could reintroduce it at some later point in time. So, I'd actually vote for ignoring the Suggests: field in education-*-* packages and leave the packages in there. In fact, I am currently involved in a packaging project where we might bring more Edu software (back) into Debian. If xtide has returned, we simply need to update debian-edu src:pkg and xtide jumps back into the Recommends: field.Oh, I see, I was'nt aware of it. So, the best thing to do is to reintroduce the Suggests on xtide and xtide-data and to reopen Bug#1118016, I guess. Isn't it?
Not exactly. The best is to revert your recent changes, yes.Next time you want to modify the software recommendations/suggestions of debian-edu derived bin:pkgs, please do that in
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu/-/tree/master/tasksThe debian-edu src:pkg is a Debian blends generated package, so debian/control should not be edited manually. It gets generated via the Debian blends tooling.

In my opinion they should all be closed and tagged with wontfix. Can you do that Frans?
