Subject: crm114: recommends metamail which is not in unstable
Package: crm114

Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package crm114 recommends metamail, which is currently
not available in unstable.

This can be verified at https://packages.debian.org/unstable/crm114
(search for "Package not available").

Would it make sense to remove or update it?

According to Debian Policy ยง2.2.1, packages in main should only
recommend packages available in main (except for non-default
alternatives):

Thank you for your time,
