Package: penguin-command

Description: Penguin Command
This is a clone of the classic Missile Command Game,
but it has better graphics and music. The gameplay has
only been slightly modified. Penguin Command is
completely licensed under the GPL, excluding the music.
Is it possible to play the game without the music? If so you might
consider placing it in main with a Recommends: or Suggests: for
the non-free music.

I read in the policy: In addition, the packages in main * must not require a package outside of main for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a Depends or Recommends relationship on a non-main package), That makes me think that if it goes in main, with music in non-free, it must Suggest, not Recommend. If it wishes to Recommend, it must go in contrib. (?) Hugo van der Merwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
