iscsitarget recommends module-source even though it's now prebuilt

[Dave Gilbert]

Binary package hint: iscsitarget

the iscsitarget package has:

Recommends: iscsitarget-module
Suggests: iscsitarget-source

but I don't see why since we seem to have a prebuild iscsi_trgt module in the ubuntu
build directory - and it seems to work with that!

well, current Natty 2.6.36-1 kernel has lost it from the kernel, so it does need building - not sure if it's intended to stay that way.

I know it isn't needed, but it is confusing that it exists. It took me some time to be certain that it wasn't needed. While trying to debug something I'm left wondering if I do or don't need it and if the instructions I'm reading are accurate or out-dated. Especially since Natty may need it this will become more confusing for folks unfamiliar with how things are working here. At the very least, the package could remove the recommendation in Maverick and then the other -module won't show up and will save people like me some time. It also brings a bit more confidence that the package is worthy of use.

I don't know how to mark things dupes in launchpad.
