Package: syslinux
Version: 2:4.03+dfsg-12
Severity: normal

You closed the bug 265275 with the comment that suggestions are installed
anyway nowadays but that is not true.
I ran
aptitude install syslinux
and mtools didn't get pull in automatically.

Please rethink your decision and make the world a more convenient place ;)
