Bug#555085: totem-plugins: please suggest/recommend python-coherence , but not depend

[A Mennucc]

Package: totem-plugins
Version: 2.28.2-3
Severity: wishlist

hi,

as Apelete Seketeli  already remarked, python-coherence
brings in 26MB of dependencies,

may you please change the Depends into a Suggests or Recommends?

Note that I did not investigate what effect this would have
on Totem...  maybe you will need to add some code into totem,
so that when python-coherence is not installed but the
user enables the coherence plugins, a warning will be displayed

a.

ps: in attachment is the list of dependencies brought in by  python-coherence
