Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

If you want to run any visualizations in Amarok it tells you to install libvisual and libvisual-plugins.
Instead it should ask you if you want to install it automatically.

I think this should be rather easy with the use of adept_batch

Why not instead have amarok Recommend these packages so that they are automatically installed when amarok is installed?

Fine by me, only thing is that is that it takes up more space on the cd.

I just thought it was a conscious choice from the ubuntu devs.

Another thing is that libvisual-0.4-plugins is located in universe. Doesnt that mean that it is not supported by Canonical?

changing this to libvisual , as libvisual shouldent install without the plugins ( as it is useless without them ) and amarok already depends on libvisual but not the plugins
