I think the Recommends on python-opengl is justified as it brings important functionality to glchess and isn't too heavy. Well, it wouldn't if python-opengl didn't recommend python-numpy. As python-opengl will generally be brought as a dependency, it is abusive for it to recommend another package that isn't essential to its functionality. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
