Bug Description

Binary package hint: apt

As discussed with Michael Vogt on irc.

Recommends in main "metapackages" get installed, but not universe "metapackages"

This is needed for ubuntu-restricted-extras, among other metapackages in ubuntu.

Consider this your poke for today :)

(milestoning u-r-e section for tribe 3, so that i workaround this, if the apt section is not already fixed by then)

ie, the code does not support regexes at this point, which is what I tried.

ubuntu-restricted-extras (8) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Add libtunepimp5-mp3 as a depends, as per Breuil Cyril's request
    (LP: #124047)
  * Temporarily switching recommends back to depends, as recommends only get installed by
    default for metapackages in main, until apt gets fixed. Ultimately, we
    want to use recommends for this package. (LP: #125928)
