Comment 1 for bug 1213920

Litian is used to make assumptions about the quality of third party
packages that e.g. have been downloaded from the Internet by the user.
So it is not used as a developer tool in this context.

We could argue if ubuntu-desktop should depend on lintian instead of
aptdaemon itself. But which flavour would like to skip this feature?
There is optionally the posibillity to disable the installation of
recommends if you want to have a low system size.

Cheers,

Sebastian
