I just received this lintian warning:
W: libghc6-bytestring-nums-doc: lib-recommends-documentation recommends:
ghc6-doc
N:
N: The given package appears to be a library package, but it
recommends a
N: documentation package. Doing this can pull in unwanted (and often
large)
N: documentation packages since recommends are installed by default
and
N: library packages are pulled by applications that use them. Users
usually
N: only care about the library documentation if they're developing
against
N: the library, not just using it, so the development package should
N: recommend the documentation instead. If there is no development
package
N: (for modules for scripting languages, for example), consider
Suggests
N: instead of Recommends.
N:
N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
N:
If we're going to stay with libghc6-*-doc packages, we should explain to
lintian maintainers that this is not a library package.
Greetings.
