I don't follow.
My patch says that /some/ functionality might not work without the
recommends.
It comes down to what "might not work" means.
For example, "might reformat your hard drive" is an example of "might not work".
This might seem pedantic, but it really isn't: I've seen packagers argue that they are not responsible for what happens on user systems that do not install Recommends before.
