[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#826680: network-manager: please move isc-dhcp-client from Depends: to Recommends:

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: normal

NetworkManager.conf(5) says:

---------
       dhcp
           This key sets up what DHCP client NetworkManager will use. Allowed
           values are dhclient, dhcpcd, and internal. The dhclient and dhcpcd
           options require the indicated clients to be installed. The internal
           option uses a built-in DHCP client which is not currently as
           featureful as the external clients.

           If this key is missing, available DHCP clients are looked for in
           this order: dhclient, dhcpcd, internal.
---------

But the network-manager package Depends: isc-dhcp-client.

Given that network-manager ships with an internal DHCP client, it seems like
isc-dhcp-client should be a Recommends: and not a Depends:

Regards,
