I did bother to look at the recommends, and this was not a general
automated mailing spree. I was (and still am) unclear on whether the release goal is
to have any recommends which are not in main even as an option, or
whether this applies to those cases where there is a clear single
Recommendation of a package outside main (or all optional depends
outside main.

Thanks and sorry.
