Package: cfv
Version: 1.18-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
The package cfv recommends bittorrent which I feel is unwaranted:
Debian Policy Manual
Chapter 7 - Declaring relationships between packages
| 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.
|
| Enhances
| This field is similar to Suggests but works in the opposite
| direction. It is used to declare that a package can enhance the
| functionality of another package.
Cfv is completly functional in all aspects without a bittorrent client
and a strong dependency is not given imho. In fact I even feel a
Suggests would be wrong since such a client does in no way alter the
cfv functionality.
I think this would be better expressed as Enhances. Having cfv
installed, thus being able to create new torrent files for seeding
with a BT client, enhances the BT client.

Goswin
PS: mldonkey also knows about BT and there might be more clients in Debian.
