Thank you for your report, however this is not the case on an up-to-date breezy.
Do not confuse Recommends: with Depends:

I am running Breezy with all updates as of now.

The acpi-support package indicates that it depends on both smartdimmer *and*
radeontool, both of which are in universe.

If this is incorrect, there is a problem with the acpi-support package.

My bad, lagging proxy. Raising severity since ubuntu-desktop is not allowed to
depend on universe packages

As documented in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionQueue, the correct
way to move packages to main is either to edit the seeds or add them as a
dependency in a main package. It's under control.

Thank you Matthew. Sorry for creating all the noise, I'm still not too
experienced in triaging.

I'm closing this since smartdimmer appears to be in main (at least on edgy). I hope I'm not acting incorrectly - if so, please reopen the bug and tell me what I did wrong. Thanks a lot.
