python-zope.component dependency question

[Rick McBride]

Hi!

One of the packages that my team's project uses depends on 
python-zope.compent. This package in turn pulls in python-zodb. It 
doesn't seem like that package is strictly necessary in all cases.

Is it possible that this Depends: could instead be a Recommends: ?

currently python-zodb appears to want python2.4 installed. We'd like to 
avoid that if at all possible.

It was suggested that I look for the answer here.

Cheers,

Rick McBride
