[Bug 1250652] Re: Far too many dependencies for boinc-manager

[MestreLion]

Upon further inspection, I was wrong: boinc-manager does NOT depend on
boinc-client, it only *recommends* it, which IMHO is a sensible choice.
So by default it does pull boinc-client, but you can configure apt not
to install recommends, or you can simply remove boinc-client afterwards.

And similarly boinc-client does NOT depend on ia32-libs, it also only
recommends it. If you don't install it  you simply won't be able to run
some projects that wraps 32 bits executables.

So I guess both this and debian 730332 bugs are somewhat "already
fixed", unless a package recommendation is not satisfatory.

(Also note that on Ubuntu Saucy 13.10 onwards the ia32-libs package does
not even exist, thanks to multiarch, and all the other dependencies are
installed by default in any ubuntu install. So boinc-manager and boinc-
client will not pull any extra packages)
