Hi Luk!

This is a very strange wording to be honest:
	"must not require a package outside of main for compilation
	 or execution"
versus
	"...Recommends..."

The recommended packages are definitely not necessary for correct
function ("execution") nor compilation. So why the "Recommends" in the
above list?

Anyway, what do you suggest? I guess I just wait until the bug solves
itself by update/fix of the packages I depend on. If this doesn't happen
in a timely manner, the next version of the packages will contain
Suggests instead of Recommends for now.

Best wishes

Norbert
