[Bug 1357748] [NEW] Putting thermald into recommends

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with linux-image-generic 3.16.0.9.10.
Currently linux-image-generic depends on thermald but in my opinion
thermald should not be a dependency as computers are normally providing
their own cooling control on hardware level. thermald might be a nice
enhancement but I think it would be better to move it from a dependency
to a recommendation.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
