Package: fakemachine
Version: 0.0.11-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I see that the latest update of fakemachine has added a hard Depends on
systemd-resolved. The changelog doesn't contain any further explanation
why this was bumped from a Recommends to a Depends.

Please consider downgrading that Depends to Recommends again.
This has the benefit that the package is installed by default but users
that can't or don't want to use systemd-resolved can opt-out.

If fakemachine is indeed non-functional without systemd-resolved
(justifying a hard Depends), please document this better (e.g. what
functionality is broken if not available).

Thanks for considering,

Michael
