Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: indicator-me

>From the policy manual (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-
relationships.html):

"Recommends
    This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
    The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with 
this one in all but unusual installations.

Suggests
    This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or 
more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user that the 
listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance its usefulness, 
but that installing this one without them is perfectly reasonable."

Suggests seems much more appropriate here.

The reason I'm asking is because it makes it harder for a derivative to
use the me menu, but not, say, gwibber.  That sort of choice seems more
appropriate for editing seeds, not editing package relationships.

** Affects: indicator-me (Ubuntu)
