Package: libm17n-0 Version: 1.6.1-1 Severity: normal libm17n-0, as a library, primarily gets pulled in by other packages installed by the user, rather than through direct user installation.
libm17n-0 recommends m17n-contrib and m17n-db, but does not give any indication of the functionality these packages provide for programs that use libm17n-0, making it difficult for a user to sensibly decide whether to install them. For instance, emacs23 depends on libm17n-0, and seems to work fine without these packages installed; what functionality of emacs23 would not work without installing these packages? In general, these packages don't seem like "packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations". Please consider documenting the reason a user might want to install these packages in libm17n-0's description, and please consider carefully whether these packages need a Recommends or whether a Suggests would suffice, particularly since Recommends get installed by default now.
