I suppose the intention here is so that someone who installs the library for
this format gets it automatically working in Gimp. Maybe some of the
new-fangled rich dependencies would be be better than a "Recommends".
Yeah, I was gonna suggest that but forgot to get around to it - thanks.
I forget the syntax, but basically I think there's a "Recommends: foo
IF bar" syntax, which is what we'd want here - recommend the GIMP
plugin *if* gimp itself is installed.
