Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.6-dfsg-6
Severity: important
I do not see virtualbox-ose-modules in the archive.
While in the policy:
2.2.1 The main category
Every package in main must comply with the DFSG (Debian Free Software
Guidelines).
In addition, the packages in main
* must not require a package outside of main for compilation or
execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends",
"Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main
package),
...
I did not check why it is not in main archive (nor in non-free). But if
we do not have the package, we should not recommend it by policy.
(Just suggest them.) It least without module, it stop running.
Or is this new package queue issue? (If so, please close this.)
If we are to install such package bu m-a's help only, we should skip
recommending it. Adding clear comments in README.Debian to run m-a
may be good idea.
