Strange enough, when using the --with-recommends option aptitude should
resolve them as --without-recommends (which works as expected).

If you do not install recommends, it is OK, exactly as with aptitude.

I think that a better (and common with other situations,
i.e. mail-transport-agent) fix is the one suggested by Clint: one single
real package recommended. This is a maintainer's choice, which as Clint
suggested, it was already made for the bacula-server package, i.e. the
sqlite3 backend.
John, two questions:
- have you any preference on the solution?
- do you mind if Hideki uploads its NMU? This is a serious bug that
affects squeeze as well...

This should be at least medium, given that the bug is severity serious,
but I could not find the documentation about that, sorry:
Developer's Reference, ยง 5.13.2. Updates from unstable

What is the reason for a strict versioned Recommends? The bacula-server
package has it in the form:
bacula-sd-sqlite3 (>= ${source:Version}) | bacula-sd-tools
John, any comments or suggestions?
Thx, bye,
