Package: puredata-core

Some kind of wishlist bug,
I suppose puredata-core is meant to provide a strict vanilla version of
puredata.
Don't know how to argue but I don't feel Gem is particularly essential for
puredata.
By default, aptitude installs recommended packages. Gem in turn depends on
several multimedia libraries.
Eventually, I would understand puredata package to recommand Gem, while
puredata-core would not.
i think the arguing is as follows:
- for whatever reasons gem has been a recommends to puredata for ages
- after splitting out puredata-core,..., installing puredata should
still give you exactly the same user experience than before.
- anybody advanced enough to install puredata-core rather than
puredata would have the knowlegde to tell their package manager to not
install recommended package if they do wish so (apt-get install
--no-install-recommends puredata-core)
having said that, i think it's a good idea to move the recommends from
puredata-core to puredata.
