Bug#705229: libcatalyst-perl: should suggest (not recommend) libcatalyst-devel-perl and libfcgi-perl

Package: libcatalyst-perl
Version: 5.90015-1
Severity: normal

libcatalyst-perl currently recommends libcatalyst-devel-perl and
libfcgi-perl.

The first is needed only for development, and fir latter is needed only
for FastCGI deployments (which is arguably obsolete nowadays, thanks to
PSGI).

I therefore believe those libraries are not used in "all but unusual
installations" as Debian Policy defines that relationship, and they
should instead be only suggested.
