Policy seems fairly clear here: " In addition, the packages in *main* * must not require or recommend a package outside of *main* for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Pre- Depends", "Depends", "Recommends", "Build-Depends", "Build-Depends- Indep", or "Build-Depends-Arch" relationship on a non-*main* package unless that package is only listed as a non-default alternative for a package in *main*), " Regards, Adam
