[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#562883: acpi-support: why is nvclock 'recommended'?

[Celejar]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.131-2
Severity: normal


The policy manual states (7.2):

"The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with
this one in all but unusual installations."

It's hardly unusual to have a system without nVidia hardware.
