Package: gnash-common Version: 0.8.6-2+b1 Severity: minor Hi,
I just wanted to install the mozilla-plugin-gnash package, when I realized the absurd list of packages it attempted to pull in. The reason was that gnash-common, whichis a depends of mozilla-plugin-gnash, recommends csound. According to its package description "Csound is to sound synthesis as C is to programming". This didn't sound very necessary for me, so I installed mozilla-plugin-gnash without the recommended packages and it is still working fine. Please reconsider having csound as a (automatically installed) recommended package for gnash-common. If you think I miss the point and the recommendation is perfectly justified, please feel free to close this bug.
