Don't Recommend ubuntuone-client-gnome or gwibber

[Michael Terry]

Binary package hint: indicator-me

From the policy manual (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html):

"Recommends
    This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
    The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations.

Suggests
    This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user that the listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that installing this one without them is perfectly reasonable."

Suggests seems much more appropriate here.

The reason I'm asking is because it makes it harder for a derivative to use the me menu, but not, say, gwibber. That sort of choice seems more appropriate for editing seeds, not editing package relationships.

Thank you for your bug report, recommends seems correct there since installing the indicator should get a configuration exposing the standard feature and gwibber is required for that, ubuntu-client-gnome could be downgraded though

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Ken, do you have any opinion on that?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Ken, Ted, could you comment on that?

[Ted Gould (ted)]

I have no issue with it being "suggests" I think that we were just trying to say that there should be some relationship between the two as the Me Menu does do additional functionality if they are installed.

This stupid bug gets in the way of my minimal installs. I don't use Gwibber, but I have uses for indicator-me. But if I install it, Gwibber is needlessly, and quite annoyingly, installed as well.
