Package: python-launchpadlib
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

We should drop python3-keyring from Recommends to Suggests. python3-keyring
was previously dropped from Depends to Recommends as it was determined
that python-launchpadlib works fine without it and including it will
include a large number of packages on non-desktop machines. See commit
842dd519 
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-launchpadlib/-/commit/842dd5191ca3ef1acb800579b7a02cda6cbeeb31
However, it is my understanding that APT semantics means a Recommends
package will still be installed. Thus, we should drop this further to
Suggests.

This will additionally clear up the delta Ubuntu has with
python-secretstorage, which had attempted to avoid this situation by
dropping the Secret Service server packages from Recommends to Suggests.

I have opened a merge request on gitlab that would make this change:

If there is a better place to discuss this, please let me know.

Thank you,
Chris
