Hi,

that explains why I didn't notice the problem with removing sudo on my 
machine - I usually don't use meta-packages.

I suppose there should be no problem to move sudo-trinity from Depends to 
Recommends. Likewise, synaptic-trinity could be moved. Does anyone think 
there are reasons not to do so?

Cheers
