Package: samba
Version: 3.0.24-6
Severity: wishlist

   Depends: ..., logrotate, ...
   Recommends: smbldap-tools

	Is the dependency on `logrotate' really necessary?  Couldn't it
	be put into `Recommends:' field instead?  It will allow users to
	use different programs to rotate the logs without the need to
	install `logrotate' just to satisfy the dependency.

	Consider, e. g., the `lvm-common' package dependencies:

   Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21), module-init-tools | modutils (>> 2.3.11-2)
   Recommends: logrotate
