Package: lilypond
Version: 2.14.2-2+b1
Severity: minor

Installing lilypond in wheezy includes lilypond-doc as a recommended package.
In systems where apt-get will install these recommended packages, the *very
large* documentation set will be installed.

Based on the definition of dependency fields in 7.2 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html, it seems that
the documentation set is better specified as a suggested package. This is
appropriate because lilypond may be more useful with lilypond-doc, but no
functionality is lost and it is reasonable if the documentation is not present.
In a similar manner, lilypond might be listed as an enhance package to
lilypond-doc

Please note that, since the documentation is over 240mb of download and over
700mb installed, this dependency distinction is a little more serious.
