Package: gwibber-service Version: 2.32.0.2-1 Severity: wishlist If I read the changelog correctly, for Debian users there is no added value whatsoever to installing python-desktopcouch-records. It looks like it is only there for migration of data for users upgrading from a version of gwibber that was never available in any distribution of Debian. If the package is kept as a Recommends, most users will end up installing 15 additional packages for no reason.
