Bug Description
Binary package hint: lmms
LMMS is included in the Ubuntu Studio install disks and the 'recommends' status of lmms-vst forces the install procedure to be connected to the internet to successfully install ttf-mscorefonts
The cleanest fix for this is to turn lmms-vst to a 'suggests' rather than a 'recommends'. This will not install the vst capabilities by default, but those looking for VST (proprietary plugin format) functionality will easily be able to install the extra package. Furthermore this will encourage people to embrace the open ladspa and dssi plugin formats. No VST plugins are available from the ubuntu repositories, so there is minimal argument for keeping this feature as a 'recommends'.
Attaching a debdiff fix for this bug, merely switching lmms-vst to a suggests.
