Hi,

dnet-common has a lovely habit of breaking networking for people who
least expect it. See
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/05/msg01624.html for yet
another example of somebody installing other packages suddenly
wondering why things have broken, because of library dependencies
pulling in libdnet and then dnet-common.

For the very small number of people who actually *want* DECnet, they
can work out how to install dnet-common themselves. Please drop the
recommends ASAP, it's dangerous.
