Hi,

besides the fact that I'm on de facto vaccation and will not be able to
handle this bug in the next two weeks I think the reporter is not right
here and the recommends is perfectly correct.

So *if* somebody installs with --no-install-recommends he *should*
expect some missing comfort, right.  Icons, translations and manuals are
extra comfort and there might be people who just want to have the plain
programm without this.

Please convince me (or somebody else in Debian Science team) that this
is a real bug with better arguments.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
