This is not uncommon. If that's the consensus of the Debian maintainers, I'm happy to drop this back down to a Recommends (especially now that Recommends are installed by default, which they weren't when this change was first made in Ubuntu). I think the logical package relationship would still be to recommend ORed alternatives, instead of recommending just libsasl2-modules. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
