Package: asciidoc Version: 8.5.2-1 Severity: minor
I needed asciidoc for a Makefile that wanted to use it, but when I did "sudo aptitude install asciidoc", it first tried to install a huge number of packages, some of which seemed completely unrelated. In particular "vim", "ruby", etc... (!) It turns out that the reason is that the asciidoc package has some "Recommends:" that it really shouldn't, such as "vim-addon-manager", "source-highlight", etc. At best, those packages should be "Suggests:", if not removed entirely.
