[Bug 556312] Re: libvirt packages should not Recommend hypervisor packages

[Mathias Gug]

According to the Debian policy:

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.

It seems that Recommends is the best option for qemu-kvm.

Note that you can use the --no-install-recommends option with installing
the libvirt package.
