Package: kde-standard Version: 5:62 Severity: normal
kde-standard recommends freespacenotifier and network-manager-kde. update-notifier-kde should also have the status of "recommends", not "depends". Indeed, these are all quite *invasive* background daemons that should not be imposed on kde-standard users. The current situation forced me to uninstall the kde-standard meta-package and to manually select many of its components. Note that these daemons may break other standard Debian system functionality (network-manager breaks standard wpa-suppleant usage, update-notifier breaks other packages making use of motd, for example). Also, but this is a matter of (good) taste, such daemons "smell" of Microsoft Windows practices, not standard unix-like administration. Let users choose this if they wish, perhaps through another metapackage. Thank you.
