Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.79
Severity: minor

Currently, apt-listchanges recommends python-glade2 and python-gtk2.

Per debian policy:
          The `Recommends' field should list packages that would be found
          together with this one in all but unusual installations.

However, headless servers using the pager or mail frontends are hardly 
an unusual installation. Now that APT and Aptitude pull in recommends by 
default, having these in recommends causes a large number of X libraries 
to be pulled in unnecessarily.

The python-glade2 and python-gtk2 recommendations should be placed in 
the Suggests: field instead.
