Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.5-3
Severity: wishlist


Hi.

Since some recente version, the dependencies types of a package seem
to no longer follow any specific order.
This is highly confusing.

May I suggest to go back to some order like this:
Pre-Depends
Depends
Recommends
Suggests

Breaks
Conflicts
Provides
Replaces

I don't have a strong opinion about the second group, bug the first
four seem to be best with that order and should follow each other.


Cheers,
Chris.
