Package: empathy
Version: 2.30.2-1
Severity: normal
empathy depends on geoclue, and recommends various geoclue-* packages
(but only some of them, not all of them).
First of all, given the relative proportions of users who will use
empathy versus users who will make use of the geoclue functionality,
recommends seems excessively strong ("packages that would be found
together with this one in all but unusual installations").
Second, to the extent these recommendations should exist, they should
really live in the geoclue package, since the details of which
geoclue helper geoclue uses should not matter to a program using
geoclue.
Please consider dropping the recommends on geoclue-* from empathy.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett
