If this is an actual use-case, then Debian's supercollider packages do
not support it.

<https://packages.debian.org/de/source/sid/supercollider>

Right now, supercollider is set up that users can install the
synth-server without the language, but not the language without the
synth-server.

supercollider-language depends on supercollider-server.

As a result, since supercollider-sc3-plugins-sclang depends on
supercollider-language, this will pull in supercollider-server. And thus
you need supercollider-sc3-plugins-scsynth, too.

So yes, given Debian's current supercollider package,
supercollider-sc3-plugins-sclang must depend on
supercollider-sc3-plugins-scsynth.

What I'm not so sure about is wether supercollider-sc3-plugins-scsynth
should recommend or suggest supercollider-sc3-plugins-ladspalist. I used
"recommend" right now, but reading up on the FAQ, it seems to me that
"suggest" is the better choice, or is it not?

Thanks,

Hanno
