[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#834965: virtualbox-guest-utils: should not recommend virtualbox-guest-x11

Package: virtualbox-guest-utils
Version: 5.0.24-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

The description of virtualbox-guest-utils perfectly fits the expectation of
what someone would want on text-only VM. Unfortunately, it recommends the
virtualbox-guest-x11 package, which pulls in a ton of graphics libraries as
dependencies. Using no-install-recommends is not ideal, because the other
recommends are important. I believe virtualbox-guest-x11 should just be
downgraded to "Suggests" for this package.

Thanks and regards
Afif
