Not so silly if lilypond-book needed to call firefox to work, as it does with latex. > Isn't this exactly what the "recommends: " field in .deb files is > for? lilypond-book should recommend latex, docbook, texinfo, and > www-browser. it does need latex, it does not need docbook (I wonder), it does not need www-browser. So we have to levels of recommendness: latex is recommended if you want to produce tex files, this is what I'd call a dependance. docbook AFAIK and www-browser are recommended to view the output, this is what I'd call a pure recommendation. -- Francisco Vila.
