Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.33-1+nmu2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
lighttpd should not Recommend "spawn-fcgi", as that package is not needed at
all unless the user wants to actually use the FCGI interface.
Debian Policy prescribes that "The Recommends field should list packages that
would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations."
"lighttpd" without "spawn-fcgi" is not an unusual installation at all, so it
should not mention it in the "Recommends" field.
