[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1135016: hmmer2-doc: recommends xpdf-reader which is not in unstable

[Carles Pina i Estany]

Subject: hmmer2-doc: recommends xpdf-reader which is not in unstable
Package: hmmer2-doc
Version: 2.3.2+dfsg-12
Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package hmmer2-doc recommends xpdf-reader, which is
currently not available in unstable:

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xpdf-reader

Because it returns 404, I don't think that xpdf-reader has ever been in
Debian? or perhaps long time ago.

The current recommends is: "xpdf-reader | pdf-viewer"

As far as I know, it should recommend a concrete package (e.g. okular,
or some other non-dependency heavy?) and then the virtual package
(pdf-viewer).

Would it make sense to remove or update it?

Thank you for your time,
