[Bug 292403] Re: MASTER firefox 3.03 in kubuntu 8.10 requires gnome apps

Recommends
This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations.

Suggests
This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user that the listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that installing this one without them is perfectly reasonable.

I am not sure how I should justify that I bounce this bug back to firefox, so I'll just leave you 2 possible reasons:
a) Kubuntu is _NOT_ an unusual installation - that would be the 'political' reason
b) as Alexander said himself "firefox recommends -gnome-support ... as it simply best works with it" which is exactly the usecase described for the Suggests relation (same applies for the ubufox recommends) - that would be the 'firefox-3.0-doesnt-follow-debian-policy' reason

** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: adept => firefox-3.0
