I guess that must be the reason, that exuberant-ctags was the only
available package in Debian for a very long time.

I've never used universal-ctags. But the choice should be provided. If
anything breaks, we'll sooner/later have some bug reports.

I have changed the Recommends to `ctags` instead, which is Provided by
both the packages. It will be part of the next upload.

Thanks,
Ritesh

Bug#1041192: Recommends: exuberant-ctags, not ctags?

[T. Joseph Carter]

Package: seascope
Version: 0.9+8a669e0e-3
Severity: normal

I've noted that seascope Recommends: exuberant-ctags which for the
longest time was the only form of ctags in Debian. universal-ctags now
exists as an alternative. Might any ctags be used for seascope or is
there a particular reason to prefer exuberant-ctags?
