[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#793524: octave: should recommend octave-info instead of suggest

Package: octave
Version: 4.0.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Currently, octave has a "suggest" dependency on octave-info, but with
the included GUI, the info files are required to properly show the
"documentation" tab.

Si, I think the correct dependency is a "Recommends: octave-info", to
install the package by default.

Also, now that the GUI is included, perhaps you could remove the old
octave-htmldoc package.
