[Bug 270512] Re: openssh-client could suggest xauth rather than recommend it

[Thierry Carrez]

Note that dropping it to a "Suggests" doesn't prevent it from being
installed by other packages. If you install a GUI on the server then
xauth should get installed as a dependency of the X server.

The goal is to mimic what was done in hardy, where recommends were not
installed by default : the minimal and standard seeds then did not
contain any X libraries.

http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.hardy/standard

Contrast that with the now-heavier minimal and standard seeds in
intrepid:
