That should not be acceptable.  Tack in a recommends, and as usual anyone
that ignores a recommends is on his own.  Too bad you cannot fully version
the recommends using '=', or you'd break bin NMUs.

That should take care of the circular dependency problem you complained
about re. hplip/hplip-data, I will change the package relationship there
soon.
