Hi,
Reinhard, thanks for your answer, but I believe you missed one bit of my

I have to respectfully disagree here. In Debian, "Recommends"
relationships are installed by default, and your message indicates to me
that you have configured your system to not install them. It furthermore
seems to me that this bug is asking for a convenience that is making
your non-standard setup easier, while making other setups where podman
is used only in 'root' mode, impossible to install without idmap and
friends.
I'm going to leave this bug open to remind myself to think about this
from time to time, but I still wanted to document my thinking process
here more clearly.
There’s another thing, which I mentioned but I should have made more
clear. The upstream states the rootless mode is the main mode of
operation, hence I think it should be available regardless of
Recommends, don’t you think?
Also, from what I gathered talking to Debian and Ubuntu users of podman
who are not DDs, many of them are frustrated by papercuts like this one,
so in general I think the package should be made to work as effortlessly
as possible. So even if the user hasn’t got Recommends installation
enabled, podman should probably be packaged not to make them stumble
upon this.
