Can you give examples for (a)? In my eyes these would violate
the following clause of policy (quoted from section 7.1):
Recommends: This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found
together with this one in all but unusual installations.
All the best,
Jochen
