Versioned recommends are almost useless: If the user is using testing and the recommended package is also in testing, a versioned recommends is the same as a normal recommends. If the recommended package is not in testing yet, the user will be annoyed, as he will not understand why a package recommends another one which simply "does not exist". In this particular case, only a minority of users manage big zipfiles. Everybody else is able to unzip packages using any version of unzip. As unzip 6.0 will be in testing soon, I don't think it's worth to worry about that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
