Package: syslinux
Version: 2:4.02+dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Hi!
In lenny syslinux depended on mtools, in squeeze it's just a suggestion.
Since a simple call to syslinux fails because of the missing mcopy, at least
a 'recommends' would be great.
Bug #265275 deals with the same issue.
thx, Michael

but the other tools in the package don't need it, and i don't want
mtools to be installed in the default case, which is why it's a suggest
and not a recommends.
