Actually I am not sure:

The Recommends: was introduced in

commit 2979e82301ce6547a7f2919f50e1b094ab981caa
Author: Rene Engelhard <rene@debian.org>

    recommend xfonts-mathml

where the changelog says:

+    - make openoffice.org-common recommends xfonts-mathml (closes: #525245)

Looking at the bug it it's because of "Symbol", which neither fonts-stix or fonts-lyx
(which also is mentioned in xfonts-mathmls description..) provides afaics?

Needs to be investigated some more it seems.
