Package: cups Version: 1.3.8-1+lenny6 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
avahi-utils provides functionality which is completely orthogonal to cups. There are plenty of use cases for cups without avahi-utils. Thus, avahi-utils does not fulfill the policy requirements for a Recommended package and should be demoted to a Suggested package. This bug is filed in an attempt to reduce the set of Recommended packages enough for me to be able to install an ordinary desktop system without disabling APT::Install-Recommends. As you will note from the output below, I have purged avahi-utils to get rid of it. This step should not be necessary.
