Good.

No. Making it a dependency is nonsense for several reasons:

a) people not using NFS don't need it. Why should they install it just
to install OOo for usage on their local disks (or some other remote fses
like s(s)hfs?
b) a NFS without nfs-common installed and therefore the tools in there is
bbrokenly configured anyway.

Recommends: is enough. See the policy for the definition of Recommends,
which doesn't even match here but Suggests (but that probably would go
unnoticed at all)

If you actually would have read the original message you would have seen
where the "Recommend nfs-common" fix came from.
