Subject: debichem-periodic-abinitio: recommends openmx which is not in unstable
Package: debichem-periodic-abinitio
Version: 0.0.12
Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package debichem-periodic-abinitio recommends openmx,
which is currently not available in unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/openmx

For details on when it was deleted, bug number, etc.

Would it make sense to remove or update it?

According to Debian Policy §2.2.1, packages in main should only
recommend packages available in main (except for non-default
alternatives):

Thank you for your time,
