Hey everyone,

After talking with Luke on IRC, I have taken the step of blacklisting
'ubuntu-sounds' from our seeds. It was causing an install failure due to
 ubuntustudio-sounds conflicting with it but both of them trying to be
installed.

This lead me to wonder what other failures may be caused by packages
unexpectedly installing things due to recommends. As in this case, I am
sure they will crop up during the dev cycle. As for find out which
package is introducing the recommends into the seed (useful to make sure
we don't break anything else by blacklisting it ;) I checked with:

apt-rdepends -r --follow=Depends,Recommends --show=Depends,Recommends <foo>

Thanks,

Andrew.
