** Description changed:

  The nvidia-driver-* packages have a Recommends on nvidia-settings.
- Installing them w/ recommends enabled ends up bringing in the whole X
- stack, including gdm3. gdm3 will do things like  suspend systems if the
- login screen is idle - not behavior server users would expect. The
- description for nvidia-settings suggests it is only applicable for
+ Installing them w/ recommends enabled therefore ends up bringing in the
+ whole X stack, including gdm3. gdm3 will do things like suspend systems
+ if the login screen is idle - not behavior server users would expect.
+ The description for nvidia-settings suggests it is only applicable for
  graphics configuration. Therefore, would it make sense to remove the
  nvidia-settings recommendation from the nvidia-driver-*-server packages,
  which are more oriented for server class hardware?
