Let us examine the two common cases: a) User has not bought proprietary dictionaries. i) With recommends installed by default; they can have a working package. Without that, the binary package is useless. ii) With Depends, the binary ackage works. b) User has proprietary dictionaries. i) With recommends, the user can just install the proprietary package first. The system works ii) With Depends, there is a possible conflict; or else you have a useless package installed, whether you want it or not. If we are going to transition to installing Recommends by default in lenny, I would say go with the Recommends, since it caters to more users. Or else, use Depends, but that makes the system less efficient for those of our users who decide they want a partially proprietary solution (which we promise to support as well, as I recall). > But we dont care about those non-free files, as they wont ever end up > in a thing where you could add some relation in your package control > data. Sure, but the proprietary .deb could use Enhances :). If ever the packaging system frontends decide to support that, it could still be useful. manoj -- "Look! There!
