I see. I had the impression that there is a consensus that our tools should install Recommends by default in lenny. If that is the only bug that really causes a problem in this respect, why not increase it's severity? Chris, what do you think about it? Otherwise, if there are more "excessive Recommends" bugs that cause problems, it might be an interesting release goal (but it would need a person to care for it, not me).
