Yeah, why does "podracer" _depend_ on "screen"? I'd even be skeptical if it
was a suggests. Since recommends are now installed automatically and
recommends are considered a weak depends anyway, if you turn set install
recommends to false you could end up with non-working features.
If you find any packages where the recommends should obviously be a
suggests, please file a bug.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god
than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other
possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
