[Popcon-developers] Bug#466352: popularity-contest should no longer recommend mime-construct

[EspeonEefi]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.43
Severity: normal

As the subject says. mime-construct was originally recommended in 1.30 
as part of an effort to add support for compressed submissions to the 
popcon server. This code was removed in 1.36 because server-side support 
was never implemented. Given that apt-get now installs recommends 
automatically, it would probably be good to drop this recommends that 
popularity-contest no longer uses in any way.
