Package: mindi
Version: 1.04-7
Severity: wishlist

Please, would it be possible to move mindi-kernel to Recommends instead
of a Dependency?

I see that mindi recommends no packages, but suggests some and,
actually, I would always prefer to use my own kernels to generate my
backups.

I think, BTW, that it would be nice to mention in the documentation that
if you don't have ext2, cdrom and iso9660 compiled into your kernel (not
as modules), you might have problems and *then* you should use
mindi-kernel instead (unless you know what you're doing).

I would like to keep my system minimal and moving this one from a
dependency to recommendation would be a good step towards that goal. I
always want my backups to fit onto exactly one CD.

Oh, BTW, thanks for the fixed version of mindi. It has now propagated to
testing (which is what I use).


Thanks in advance, Rog�rio Brito.
