I think the main thing to consider is percentage of users that will need
things that require these packages. Note that Recommends are installed by
default anyway (in the default configuration), and now I think that some
packages are maybe even better moved to Suggests (but I'm not 100% sure).
There is also an interesting practice (cf. devscripts) to document what
optional features require optionadditional recommends/suggests.

For omitting info section there is a -N argument. Typos are better
corrected in the source, and manpage-has-useless-whatis-entry suggests
passing -n with a proper whatis text to help2man.

At least arj looks optional too, maybe others too.
