[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#684029: ia32-libs-i386: Please, downgrade ldap depends to recommends

[Vincent Danjean]

Package: ia32-libs-i386
Version: 20120701
Severity: normal

Currently, ia32-libs-i386 depends on
 libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.23-7.2)
 libnss-ldap (>= 264-2.2)
 libpam-ldap (>= 184-8.5)

I understand that, on systems where ldap is installed on the main (amd64)
architecture, installing the corresponding i386 packages is required.
  However, when the main architecture does not have any ldap infrastructure
installed (most laptops for example), we are required to install packages
that ask "strange" questions (ldap base, ...) and that reconfigure
/etc/nsswitch.

  Would it be possible to downgrade the Depends to a Recommends (at least)
with a corresponding Breaks (<< old-versions) if needed?
  If this is possible (I did not test), I think this should be applied to
the wheezy package.

  Regards,
    Vincent
