+- Add systemd-coredump to the list of recommended of miminal_base
+
+  Latest systemd package split off its coredump management facility
+  into a sub-package. Recommend this package so this functionnality is
+  still available by default on Factory but give the possibility to
+  block it by using a soft dep (Recommends:). This might be needed on
+  live images for example where space is rather low.
