[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#525708: xfce4-session: make fortune-mod a recommendation

[arne anka]

Package: xfce4-session
Version: 4.4.2-6
Severity: normal

xfce4-session depends on fortune-mod -- i never used that app and
judging from the description it is far from being crucial to the
functionality of xfce4-session.

therefor it should be a recommedation rather than a dependency: a) it
creates other dependencies and b) it takes up space un necessarily.

since debian is a about choice, nobody should be forced to install a
silly und rather useless package. and since debian is supposed to run on
all kind of devices, such unnecessary dependencies create problems for
devices with limited space, such as smartphones.
