[Popcon-developers] Bug#483754: overbroad Recommends

[Robert Millan]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.45
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Please consider lowering the recommends for installing this package:

  - Accept 'anacron' as an alternative to 'cron | fcron' for
    satisfiing Recommends (so if anacron is already installed,
    there's no need to install cron as well).
  - Lower exim4 to Suggests (assuming the http method will work ok for
    most users).
