Bug#819372: Please downgrade Depends on gnome-shell-extension-weather to Recommends

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.14+4
Severity: wishlist
The gnome metapackage depends on gnome-shell-extension-weather, and
gnome-shell-extension-weather depends on a specific range of gnome-shell
versions. When GNOME moves to a new major version, either in
experimental or in the subsequent transition in unstable,
gnome-shell-extension-weather typically lags behind the main GNOME
packages in getting updated (which makes sense, as it's a lot less
critical than the core GNOME packages). This frequently results in the
situation where it would be possible to upgrade all of GNOME to a new
version in unstable or experimental, if not for
gnome-shell-extension-weather.
Given that this represents an optional extension to gnome-shell,
packaged from a separate source rather than part of the GNOME project,
not enabled by default (requiring explicit enablement via
gnome-tweak-tool or similar), and has a tendency to lag in updates,
would you consider downgrading the current Depends on
gnome-shell-extension-weather to a Recommends? This would still install
it by default in the default apt configuration.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett
