[Python-apps-team] Bug#741514: mercurial: please downgrade 'wish' Recommends to Suggests

[Julien Cristau]

Package: mercurial
Version: 2.8-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

when mercurial is installed on a headless server (which I expect is
relatively common), the 'wish' recommendation brings a number of X libs,
xterm, libGL, etc, which are superfluous for that use case.  I think 'hg
view' is marginal enough that wish should be a Suggests instead.

Cheers,
Julien
