[Bug 119467] Re: make non-essential packages Recommends and not Depends

This would mean that making almost every application recommended instead
of depending is just a logical result.

But... there is most likely a problem with upgrading. Considering almost
every app is recommend (as mostly kubuntu-desktop needs to depend on
basic KDE), the user can remove any app he wants to, now if he does a
dist-upgrade it either installs every recommend again (therefore the
whole delete that app thing was useless) or it doesn't do so, but then
also doesn't install new recommends (i.e. if a new app is added to
-desktop with recommend it will not get installed when upgrading).

Means: this thought has to start all over again :|
