If you marked bug #155163 as a duplicate of this bug, then please change the summary of this bug for example to "tuxpaint-data should recommend tuxpaint-stamps instead of depending on it", because now isn't clear, that bug this bug is about incorrect dependency type.

Also I'm pasting some sentences from bug #155163:
1. Tuxpaint works fine without stamps (I tested on 20-30 computers with Ubuntu Feisty and Gutsy).
2. There are lof of situations, when stamps are not needed, even unwanted, as sometimes existence of stamps limits creativity (kids keeps simply clicking on stamps instead of painting).
3. Even in description of tuxpaint package stamps are mentioned as optional, but in reality users are forced to install all stamps if they install tuxpaint :( From tuxpaint package description: "[..] Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can be dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop in a collection of animal shapes and ask their students to draw an ecosystem."

So, tuxpaint-data should recommend tuxpaint-stamps instead of depending on it, also, it would be nice to split very big (32 MB) tuxpaint-stamps-default package at least into two - tuxpaint-stamps-default and tuxpaint-stamps-extra.
