  Description : extensible trouble-ticket tracking system

 Request Tracker (RT) is a ticketing system which
 enables a group of people to intelligently and efficiently manage
 tasks, issues, and requests submitted by a community of users. It
 features web, email, and command-line interfaces (see the package
 rt5-clients).
 .
 RT manages key tasks such as the identification, prioritization,
 assignment, resolution, and notification required by
 enterprise-critical applications, including project management, help
 desk, NOC ticketing, CRM, and software development.
 .
 This package provides the 5 series of RT. It can be installed alongside
 the 3.8 and 4 series without any problems.
 .
 This package provides the core of RT.
 .
 This package supports three database types out of the box: MySQL,
 PostgreSQL and SQLite. In order to support a zero-configuration install,
 SQLite will be used by default, but is not recommended for production
 use. Please see /usr/share/doc/request-tracker5/NOTES.Debian for more
 details and consider installing rt5-db-postgresql or rt5-db-mysql at
 the same time as this package.

This package is the next major release of the software currently
packaged as request-tracker4, and the packaging is a branch of that.

It will be mainted by the RT packaging team,
.

It is the  'at the same time as this'  that I'm wanting to loose.

Hi

Thanks for the feedback.

There's a distinction between when you do the consideration and when
you do the installation. The point here is that things go more smoothly
if you install the relevant support packages *together* with the main
one. That emphasis is lost in your version. (Perhaps "installing [...]
together with this package" would be an improvement). That said, this
wording has been in place since 2009...

On a more technical note, "Consider to install" is incorrect; it should
be "Consider installing".
