Bug#940959: Please downgrade gedit-plugin-zeitgeist to Recommends or Suggests

[Michael Biebl]

Package: gedit-plugins
Version: 3.30.1-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

it seems gedit-plugins-zeitgeist is currently the only package here on
my system keeping the zeitgeist stack installed.
Given the additional dependencies this plugin pulls in, it would be
great if it could be demoted to Recommends, so can be uninstalled
without also having to uninstall gedit-plugins.
Afaics zeitgeist is pretty much dead and QA maintained, so it might make
sense to even downgrade that dependency to Suggests so it is no longer
installed by default.

Regards,
Michael
