Well, it depends on the use case. Some people might want to use `surf` in "kiosk mode", so they can pass an URL as a comand line argument. There's also another launchers like `rofi` that people might want to use instead of dmenu. So surf doesn't depends on `dmenu` specifically, It is not _that_ essential actually. And since 'install-recommends=true' is a default apt setting, I think that `suckless-tools` can be moved to recommendations without any problems. >From the debian policy: >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.

Hmm, it seems that stterm is hardcoded in the surf's `config.h` file. Is it possible to set there `x-terminal-emulator` for downloading?
