Wouldn't that be more flexible?
Depends on what you're actually trying to do. As the description says, feel free to remove the metapackage and install the rfcs that you need. It's there just to help initial users who don't exactly know what RFCs they want, as as starting point. What exactly do you think it's not flexible in the current setup? Another option would be to list only a subset of the RFC packages as depends, and all others as recommends (not everyone runs with Apt::Install-Recommends set to 1, so moving all to Recommends would be bad IMHO). thanks! iustin
