Package: iproute2
Version: 4.8.0-1
Severity: normal

iproute2 has:

  Recommends: libatm1 (>= 2.4.1-17~), libxtables11

This does not make sense: either the libraries are needed by some
program, and this should be a "Depends:", or they are not used at
all, and the "Recommends:" is useless.

This is annoying at this affects aptitude's resolver now that
libxtables11 is no longer installable (aptitude complains that
the "Recommends:" is broken).
