Package: lsb-release
Version: 3.2-20
Severity: minor

Hi, lsb-release is Depended: on by devscripts. It in turn
Recommends: lsb, which has quite a large payload (including
rpm and alien). On my system, installing devscripts would
take over 100M of storage if I honour the Recommends:.

I think given devscript's dependency on lsb-release, there
are likely to be circumstances when lsb and lsb-release are
not both installed together. Therefore would you consider
moving the dependency to a Suggests:?
