package: libdnet
severity: important
version: 2.59
justification: libraries should not impact global system state.
It's entirely reasonable for a random program that supports decnet to
link against the libdnet library.
To my shock, there are programs that support decnet, but apparently it's
not their primary purpose:
i totem Recommends gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
i A gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad Depends libopenal1
i A libopenal1 Recommends libroar-compat2
i A libroar-compat2 Depends libroar2
i A libroar2 Depends libdnet
Unfortunately, we then come to
i A libdnet Recommends dnet-common (>= 2.59)
so, because I install some media player, my system wants to reconfigure
its ethernet adapters.
That's not right.
I think the general rule here is that the recommends on a package that
enables the system service should be on programs whose primary purpose
is to interact with decnet, *not* on libraries that might be an optional
component of something else.
