Hello Kristoffer, Thank you for the bug report. I tend to agree that a stronger dependency is warranted, and personally m-d-h should just Depend on apt-file. In fact, Recommends used to be the relationship, but it was changed in 2011: > commit bd309118603d193d1355516ff3a9d120ff885c05 > Author: Ludovic Claude <ludovic.cla...@laposte.net> > Date: Wed Jun 8 22:55:16 2011 +0000 > > * Move apt-file, devscripts, subversion from Recommends: to Suggests: as > they are only required when mh_make is used > * mh_make: rescan the Maven repository after the user installs a required > package. > * mh_resolve_dependencies: Also launch Maven in offline mode > (with --offline option) when --offline parameter is used. Closes: > #629356 I have moved devscripts and apt-file back to Recommends for the next upload. If someone feels strongly that this isn't appropriate, we can discuss on the list. Cheers, tony
