Recommends is wrong. In this case I would prefer the way I suggested
previously to edit the resulting d/control file. Alternatively you
could remove the file tasks/main-server and move the whole section which
is in current d/control to d/control.stub. Than you can adjust the
dependencies manually since the d/control.stub is taken over unchanged.
Both is hackish but IMHO better than any other solution proposed in this
bug report.
Kind regards
Andreas.
