eclipse-platform should not recommend eclipse-pde in dependencies

Asked by Olivier Mengué

'eclipse-pde' is currently (oneiric 3.7.0-ubuntu1) a 'recommends' dependency of 'eclipse-platform'. This is wrong because eclipse-pde is only a developer tool for Java developers while the user may want to install eclipse-platform only for non-Java development.
This should not even be 'suggests': eclipse-pde is only useful for plugin developer that will request this install explicitely.
So this dependency should be completely removed.
