Sorry, what won't work?  I tested that Recommends line long ago, and it
worked fine then.  The believe the original note in my control file was:

  # For PDF export functionality --
  #   texlive-latex-base provides: geometry, fancyhdr, oberdiek
  #   texlive-latex-recommended provides: fontspec
  #   texlive-latex-extra provides: titling, maginnote, xstring
  #   texlive-plain-generic | texlive-generic-recommended provides: ulem

WRT arch:all elpafied Emacs packages, yes, while it's officially not
supported they can usually be installed as-is on an older release
without doing a formal bpo.

Please go ahead and drop bin:texlive-generic-recommended.  If any issues
appear in fountain-mode (low-popcon) then I'll immediately upload the
fix that has been applied in git.

Cheers,
Nicholas
