In , Thomas Parmelan (parmelan+debian) wrote : trn4: should not depend on external inews

Package: trn4
Version: 4.0-test76-8.tom1
Severity: minor

A useable `inews' program is provided with trn4. Why not use it? I do
(your package simply rebuilt without this dependancy) and it works fine
for me.

It seems kind of overkill to be forced to install (and configure)
another inews package without reason. Maybe drop the "depends" to
"suggests" and add a note in README.Debian or elsewhere about why
another inews is better than the one provided here ?
