Hi Wolfi, My interpretation of the Debian policy is roughly: recommend a package if it makes all existing parts of the software "work properly"; suggest a package if it just adds some extra features.
I'm not sure about Debian, but downstream in Ubuntu apt automatically installs Recommendations but does not automatically install Suggestions. I guess the real issue is that users will see menu items that do not work unless python-xml is installed, so in that respect Inkscape is a "broken" application by default. By that rationale, I think it's reasonable to bump python-xml to Recommends. This was done downstream in Ubuntu to fix this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/115589 Cheers, Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
