Package: xmlto
Version: 0.0.21-5
Hi Daniel,
When preparing to do a dist-upgrade, I found that something on my system was
trying to pull in the entire texlive suite. This something turned out to be
xmlto, which has a new Recommends: on dblatex.
Policy says about Recommends that:
The `Recommends' field should list packages that would be found
together with this one in all but unusual installations.
I don't think it's at all unusual to want to use xmlto without having to
pull in all of texlive, so I think this package relationship should be
demoted to a Suggests.
