I’m not sure I would agree with that. Depends are the packages required for the core functionality of the package, which in the case of Kmail is sending and receiving email. Recommends are the packages necessary for the ancillary functionality of the package, parsing meeting invites being an example. Based on your description, my sense is that the current dependencies are correct. Those wanting all the ancillary functionality of Kmail should install all the recommended packages, either by manually installing them or by automatically installing all recommended packages. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
