Subject: iceape-browser: should not recommend iceape-gnome-support

Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 20:26:14 +0200

Package: iceape-browser
Version: 1.1.4-1
Severity: normal

It is probably perfectly reasonable to use Iceape but not Gnome, hence
iceape-browser should not recommend iceape-gnome-support; installing
the latter and its dependencies/recommendations would pull in 40
additional packages and 50 MB on my (Gnome-free) system.  Two
additional arguments for downgrading to a "Suggests":

1) According to http://popcon.debian.org/main/web/by_inst,
   iceape-gnome-support has only 1633 installations while
   iceape-browser has 4885.

2) Iceweasel and Icedove both merely suggest their respective
   gnome-support packages.

Package: iceape
Version: 2.0.3-4

Seems that this has been fixed some time ago, and iceape-gnome-support
does not even exist any more.
