 Salut,
 
 The reason why dmenu is not a dependency of i3 is that it is not
 actually a dependency. There is the option of using dmenu as a menu for
 i3, but you can use any other kind of menu. It is true that the default
 configuration uses dmenu so perhaps it shouldn't be installed by
 default.
 
 There would be a point in adding dmenu as a recommendation for i3, but
 as far as I know we don't have a "recommends" header.
