On Fri, 18 Apr 2008 the mental interface of
Joey Hess told:

> Package: alsa-utils
> Version: 1.0.16-1
> Severity: normal
> 
> alsa-utils recommends udev, but on the minority of systems that don't
> use udev, it can certianly work fine w/o it, and having udev be pulled
> onto such a system by a recommends can cause other breakage.
> 
> The recommends seems to serve no purpose on the majority of systems,
> since they already have udev installed.
> 
> So I think this recommendation should be dropped.
