severity 379848 important
thanks
I quote policy here for you:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
Suggests
This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with
one or more others. Using this field tells the packaging system
and the user that the listed packages are related to this one and
can perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that installing this one
without them is perfectly reasonable.
As I read it, it's not supposed to be an other package marked as
suggest which is not installable with the package. It is against the
sense of 'enhance its usefulness'. So your package violates policy.
Policy violating bugs should be posted as serious. It happens to be
that serious bugs hold backs a release. This is good that way, since
other way we will come out with a distribution, whichs (any package
controlling) GUI compells the database developer to install
libkrb5-dev and heimdal-dev, but the confused user will see that these
packages conflicts.
Let it be important and I hope that you will fix it before the
release.
Thanks for your reply,
gergely
