Source: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.13.0-6
Justification: 2.2.1
Followup-For: Bug #971896
Control: severity -1 serious

Dear Maintainer,

recommending a package that is not present in debian main is considered
a violation of a 'must' directive of the debian policy, which carries a
'serious' severity for bug reports.

Debian policy [1] states:
"the packages in main must not require or recommend a package outside of
main for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a
Pre-Depends, Depends, Recommends, Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep, or
Build-Depends-Arch relationship on a non-main package unless that
package is only listed as a non-default alternative for a package in
main)"

Please review your package dependencies so that they are aligned with
the debian policy. Thanks.
