Hi Dan,

Thanks for the report. While I agree with the bugreport, we had to downgrade the dependency on alsaplayer-common from a Depends to a Recommends for technical reasons, namely we cannot have circular dependencies. We can't have alsaplayer-common depend on alsaplayer-text | alsaplayer-gtk | ... etc, and have alsaplayer-text depend on alsaplayer-common. So to break the circular dependency, we had to downgrade one of the dpendencies, and we figured that it was best to downgrade the dependencies on alsaplayer-text et al.

However, since they still Recommend: alsaplayer-common, it should still be installed automatically by tools such as aptitude, on new installs (and on upgrades, alsaplayer-common should already be installed).
