Bug#673178: libopenal1:amd64: dependency-chain leads to installed DECnet (dnet-common)

[Alex Maurer]

Package: libopenal1:amd64
Version: 1:1.14-3
Severity: important

Since APT installs recommended packages by default, installing libopenal1 (that
is used by games and mplayer) leads to installed DECnet.

The dependency chain is: libopenal1 -> libroar-compat2 -> libroar2 -> libdnet
-> dnet-common.

This seems to install a kind of network layer that wants to be configured on
the install, wants to change the MAC addresses of my NICs and could stop the
networking from working.

This is not expected for installing libopenal1 / mplayer. This is also not
expected on a dist-upgrade.

This bug seems to interfere with #655740. I'm not sure libopenal1 needs libroar
at all.
