Package: lsb-release Version: 3.1-23.1 Severity: normal Please don't Recommend: lsb. lsb_release is a useful command-line tool in its own right, particularly for configuration management systems like Puppet that can make decisions based on distribution. Recommending lsb means that using aptitude in the default mode installs the entire lsb meta-package, which pulls in a ton of packages that one often would not want to have on servers (exactly the systems that one would want to manage with Puppet).
I think Suggests is more appropriate here. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lsb-release depends on: ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages lsb-release recommends: ii apt 0.6.46.4-0.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg pn lsb <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
