I think moving things (like games) that it's nice to provide to recommends, so they can be removed without removing the metapackage, will defuse a lot of the tension of these discussions. If it turns out a few too many things get added to recommends for some people's tastes, they can just remove them. Scott K -- http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-talk
