Bug#599662: esound-common: Please downgrade recommendation on esound-clients

Package: esound-common
Version: 0.2.41-7
Severity: normal

esound-common recommends esound-clients.  However, esound common gets
pulled in by libesd0, which gets pulled in by a variety of user
applications including anything from GNOME.  esound-clients, on the
other hand, only proves useful if actually using an esound server, which
almost always means installing that server locally.  In other words,
many users will have this package pulled in by default but very few will
actually need it.  Please consider downgrading the Recommends to a
Suggests; you might consider adding this Recommends to the esound
package instead, and having libesd0 Suggests that too.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
