[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#458945: bluez-utils shouldn't Recommend bluez-gnome

Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.22-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

A really minor issue:
With apt-get now automatically installing the Recommends for certain packages, 
bluez-gnome is pulled in if bluez-utils is installed. This pulls in a whole 
collection of GNOME components.

Policy says that Recommends is for packages that "would be found together with 
this one in all but unusual installations" -- I hope that my KDE isn't that 
unusual :- )

Please note that I'm not some kind of crazy desktop purist; I already have the 
GNOME components installed to use GIMP and Inkscape. I think bluez-gnome 
should be a Suggests, though.

Thank you!

Pseudopatch (debian/control):
-Recommends: bluez-gnome
-Suggests: bluez-firmware
+Suggests: bluez-firmware, bluez-gnome, kdebluetooth
