[Debian-hebrew-common] Why is myspell-he extra?

[Shachar Shemesh]

User-he is an "optional" package, but it depends on myspell-he, which is
marked "extra". This breaks all sorts of rules.

After looking at various other user-* packages, it seems that the norm
is to only suggest other packages, and not depend on much at all. I
don't think I like that much for our case, as "suggest" does not
install, by default, when doing "apt-get install", but I would suggest
the following:
Depends - only on "locales".
Demote all existing "recommends" to "suggests", and all existing
"depends" to "recommends".

Some specific changes:
kde-i18n-he - We cannot have it as a "depends", or we are, in essence,
forcing Hebrew users to install KDE. I would also move it into the
"suggests".
koffice-i18n-he, openoffice-l10n-he - same stuff

As a side note, i18n is the wrong name. They should both have used
"l10n" instead, but that's beside the point.

In effect, I would suggest moving all dependencies that mean installing
a big subsystem info "suggest". Small programs (such as fonts, hdate
etc.) should be "Recommends". I cannot think of any program that a
Hebrew user MUST have, and so our "Depends" should be almost empty.

Now, I know of one possible reply you may state. It is "you have both
commit access and upload permissions - just do it". I will, gladly, but
I wanted to discuss it first because:
- I don't want to butt in on anyone. I was accepted for my bidiui work
- I think these changes require discussion first.

Having said that, if I don't hear from any of you in three days, I'll go
ahead and make the changes and upload them (adding myself to the
"Uploaders" list while doing so).
