[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#374172: xfce4: Recommends instead of Depends

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.3.90.1-2
Severity: normal

In my opinion it is a bit harsh for xfce4 to depend on thunar since the
XFCE desktop runs fine without it.

Either xfce4 should depend on all orage, xfce4-terminal, xfmedia and
thunar, or it should recommend them. Having a mix does not feel right.

If depending on all of them would be the better solution, I would like
to see a xfce4-light package.
