Package: system-config-printer Version: 1.2.3-1 Severity: normal I can somewhat understand not depending on cups-pk-helper, though it seems harmless to do so for simplicity. However, I don't see any reason to not depend on system-config-printer-udev. system-config-printer-udev introduces minimal additional dependencies, and these days libudev0 does not depend on udev, so it doesn't even require the use of udev. Furthermore, the package itself has negligible size compared to system-config-printer. Recommending it rather than depending on it seems error-prone and doesn't seem to gain anything, and it makes life harder for people who install recommends selectively. - Josh Triplett
