Subject: ayatana-indicator-bluetooth: suggests gnome-bluetooth which is not in unstable
Package: ayatana-indicator-bluetooth
Version: 24.5.0-3
Usertags: package-relations package-relations-suggests
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

I see that the package ayatana-indicator-bluetooth (version 24.5.0-3)
suggests gnome-bluetooth which is not in unstable.

This can be seen in
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/ayatana-indicator-bluetooth .
Search for "Package not available".

The missing package used to be in Debian but they were removed some time
ago:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnome-bluetooth

Should it be dropped or changed?

Since I'm comenting on the topic:

I also see that it suggests other packages that are not in Debian (as
seen in the packages.debian.org page). There is no policy that I know of
to say that suggested packages must be packaged in Debian so it's ok
from the policy point of view.

On the other hand, there are "Dependencies" that are not in Debian
(blueman-manager, ubuntu-system-settings and gnome-bluetooth) which I
think that for the Debian package should be removed? piuparts didn't
catch it I guess because it's installable via blueman.

Thank you,
