[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#659490: bootlogd: Should be Recommends or Depends.

[Mats Erik Andersson]

Package: src:sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-22
Severity: important

It is unreasonable to leave the new package "bootlogd"
without any dependencies at all. In fact, a UNIX system
lacking bootlogd should be considered crippled.

At a time when "ntfs-3g" and "ntfsprogs" are brought in
using "Recommends" to a GNU/Linux system, the omission
of a now separate package "bootlogd" is severe.

Do mark "bootlogd" as "Depends" in a suitable stanza,
or at least "Recommends". The latter would imply that
it is an action of will to exclude a basic administration
tool of great importance.
