Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.2-2.1
Justification: Policy 7.2
Severity: serious

Given the package description for migemo installing it as a Recommends
and thus by default for all users of w3g is IMO not correct.
Recommends should only be used (see policy 7.2) for packages that are
"found together in all but unusual installation".

It is especially problematic because of the very heavy dependencies
migemo has: it pulls in emacs and ruby. Both of those are completely
irrelevant for w3m's base functionality and I would think that migemo
is only relevant for Japanese users.

So IMO it completely fails the requirements for a status as Recommends.
