I just received this lintian warning: W: libghc6-bytestring-nums-doc: lib-recommends-documentation recommends: ghc6-doc N: N: The given package appears to be a library package, but it recommends a N: documentation package. Doing this can pull in unwanted (and often large) N: documentation packages since recommends are installed by default and N: library packages are pulled by applications that use them. Users usually N: only care about the library documentation if they're developing against N: the library, not just using it, so the development package should N: recommend the documentation instead. If there is no development package N: (for modules for scripting languages, for example), consider Suggests N: instead of Recommends. N: N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible N: If we're going to stay with libghc6-*-doc packages, we should explain to lintian maintainers that this is not a library package.
