Package: eboard
Version: 1.1.1-4.1
Severity: normal

eboard Recommends sox, but does not document why it wants sox.  This
makes it difficult to decide whether to install the recommended package.
Please consider documenting the reason for this recommendation in the
description.

Alternatively, I would *guess* that eboard wants sox to play sounds.  If
so, then consider that if eboard used an actual sound library, it would
likely depend on that library rather than recommending it.  Thus, please
consider upgrading sox to a dependency instead.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
