Shouldn't they actually be Depends if they are really required for a working system? I don't see why you want to special case some packages. If ppl don't want recommends they should really not get any recommends and decide for themselves if they do want to install these additional usefull packages. IMO you can't have both, no recommends and everything that is generally usefull to have but not a dependency. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.
