I agree that mtools should be listed as a dependency rather than simply recommended. The mcopy program will be required by syslinux in 99% of cases and therefore should be a depends.
Jonh, this option is not turned on by default so hence in most cases syslinux will fail to operate after installing. This cannot be a desirable outcome? Additionally, most people would surely be installing this with apt-get and rather than aptitude and hence the problem is there for them too.
