I want to install greybird-gtk-theme, and only that theme.  But due to
gtk2-engines-murrine recommending murrine-themes, effectively I get a
bunch of themes when I wanted only one.

Package relationships are _directional_:

Having murrine-themes recommend greybird-gtk-theme is sensible, because
(some of) its contents has little use without the contents of that other
package.

Having gtk2-engines-murrine recommend recommend murrine-themes is less
sensible, as its contents is perfectly usable without the contents of
that other package.

What would be sensible is to a) drop gtk2-engines-murrine recommends on
murrine-themes, and b) have murrine-themes declare that it _enhances_
gtk2-engines-murrine (i.e. a reverse suggestion).


NB!  I notice the recommendation is versioned.  If reason for that is to
avoid older versions being outright broken (e.g. due to bug#827134),
then it does not work as intended (only versioned _depends_ is certain
to be obeyed).  Use a versioned _breaks_ instead.
