 So what you're really battling against is enforcement of Recommends,
 not about enforcement of Recommends in a particular frontend, otherwise
 you would use aptitude.

 I think we should eat our dog food and fix Recommends to be useful

 Suggests and allowing back some of the actual Depends as Recommends.
