Bug#599638: Please change Recommends on totem-mozilla to Suggests

Package: totem
Version: 2.30.2-5
Severity: normal
totem Recommends totem-mozilla; this causes installation of
totem-mozilla by default, as a package "that would be found together
with this one in all but unusual installations". This does not seem
accurate: not all users have Mozilla-based browsers installed, those
browsers have native <video> support now anyway, most non-<video> videos
use Flash now (which totem-mozilla doesn't help with), and in any case
users may prefer to download and watch videos rather than watching them
in the browser. Please consider changing the Recommends to a Suggests.
The "gnome" everything-and-the-kitchen-sink metapackage already depends
on totem-mozilla, so this change would mostly help people who install
gnome-desktop-environment and don't want to have to disable recommends
by default.
