Bug#665466: task-laptop: Should no more depend on apmd

2012-03-24 Thread Axel Beckert 

Package: task-laptop
Version: 3.08
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

task-laptop currently depends on apmd. But the description of apmd says:

  Since lenny Debian kernels are not built with APM support anymore. You
  need to compile a kernel with apm support enabled to use this
  package. You need to boot the kernel with the apm=on option if you
  want to enable the driver.

  In most cases, users may want to know that there are newer power
  management schemes, like ACPI.

So IMHO task-laptop should drop the Depends on apmd or at most convert
it to a Suggests.

s/depends/Recommends/

Nevertheless it's installed by default since Recommends are installed
by default. Additionally that way apmd is lifted to the same level as
acpi-* which seems wrong for the same reason:

 But the description of apmd says:

s/Depends/Recommends/, too, so that it's no more installed by default.
