[Python-apps-team] Bug#525839: Abnormal recommandations (abiword ...) for pkpgcounter package in case of server environment

[FERRAND Adrien]

Package: pkpgcounter
Version: 3.50-4
Severity: wishlist

Hello.

As you can see below, pkpgcounter recommends some packages like abiword. For a desktop usage, it seems normal to recommend a 
text editor. But for a server usage, theses recommendations can make aptitude install all X libraries if the user is not 
careful ( as aptitude install recommended packages by default ).

Indeed pkpgcounter can be used for printing quotas ( like pykota ) with cups.

It's just a suggestion, but you could remove theses recommendations for pkpgcounter, in order to avoid useless overcharge for 
careless user.

Thank you a lot !

Adrien Ferrand
