This is a bug in quagga, which violates policy 7.4 (last paragraph) by not

show up in apt-get because apt-get doesn't honor Recommends.

There actually is -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- although
it's currently mainly used to spam me and the single other subcriber with
SVN commit notices. I'll take this as a reminder to set up an aptitude-svn
list. :)
