[Bug 359934] Re: Java is not included in ubuntu-restricted-extras

[Christian Wolf]

Thank you Simon for updating the package.

Re the "recomends" issue, I do not want to start a discussion here,
since the original bug is fixed, but as a last suggestion here:

Please consider that people who want to remove single packages are not
those who actually need this meta-package. They know how to use package
management and could install the required packages without *-restricted-
extras.

The beginners and Windows converts have no use from this package in its
current form as it is not working when they install it as beginners do -
via direkt download and double click. Again: Those who can install it
via package mangement actually do not need *-restricted-extras. And for
the target audience, the package in its current form is useless.

It does not matter too much in reality anymore, as more and more
beginners use Ubuntu Tweak and get the meta package from there, but this
is  IMHO (no offense intended) a classical design bug, where a valid
technic argument renders the software actual useless for the target
audience.

Thank you again for fixing!
