Package: pm-utils
Version: 1.3.0-2
Severity: wishlist

pm-utils recommends radeontool. According to policy,

The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations.

This is clearly not the case for radeontool, since pm-utils is usually used on systems without a Radeon card. More importantly, as the extended description says:

WARNING: Radeontool code has not been completely audited and may contain bugs
that could damage your hardware. Use at your own risk.

(This warning is not transmitted to the administrator when pm-utils causes the installation of radeontool.)

Also, according to http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Radeontool
radeontool is obsolete. Finally, it's unclear how radeontool could enhance pm-utils.
