[Bug 1780109] Re: Only Recommend rsyslog | system-log-daemon

[Balint Reczey]

** Description changed:

- On some systems they are not needed.
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * gce-compute-image-packages depends on rsyslog | system-log-daemon
+ while there is need for images where none of those dependencies are
+ present.
+ 
+  * The upload demotes the dependencies to Recommends
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * This is seen when the package is fixed:
+ $ apt-cache show gce-compute-image-packages | grep rsyslog
+ Recommends: rsyslog | system-log-daemon
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ 
+  * Since by default recommended packages are installed with the packages
+ recommending them the change should not cause issues in image generation
+ nor during package upgrades. When an image build process uses apt's
+ --no-install-recommends option, that would result rsyslog missing from
+ the image.

** Changed in: gce-compute-image-packages (Ubuntu)

  while there is need for images where none of those dependencies are

  Recommends: rsyslog | system-log-daemon

  
  [Regression Potential] 

   * Since by default recommended packages are installed with the
  packages recommending them the change should not cause issues in image
  generation nor during package upgrades. When an image build process
  uses apt's --no-install-recommends option, that would result rsyslog
