Bug#462307: libsoap-lite-perl: Please do not recommend libnet-jabber-perl

Package: libsoap-lite-perl
Version: 0.70.04-1
Severity: normal

libsoap-lite-perl Recommends libnet-jabber-perl, because it can do
SOAP over Jabber.  However, this does not seem like a common case that
almost every user of the package will want; many SOAP services just
use HTTP, and users of those services will not need
libnet-jabber-perl.  With many apt frontends now installing recommends
by default, many people installing libsoap-lite-perl will get
libnet-jabber-perl even though they have no need for it.  Please
downgrade this to a Suggests.
