Package: w3m-el
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: important

  The Recommends field is declared as:

     `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.

  At least the following elements from w3m-el's Recommends line are
utterly bogus and should be downgraded to Suggests or removed:

  - wv: A Web browser does not need to be installed along with an MSWord
        converter.

  - ppthtml: Same.  Viewing PowerPoint files is not core functionality
             for a Web browser.

  - xlhtml: Same.  Viewing Excel files is not core functionality for a
            Web browser.


  flim looks borderline to me: are most people really going to want to
read email messages in their Web browser?


  It looks like imagmagick is legit (since you apparently need it to
view images embedded in Web pages); I suppose apel is too.
