local10, a bug report is really not the right place to discuss Debian 
packaging policy:

If you choose not to install recommends which is perfectly your choice 
you get to deal with the consequences. Installing them is default for a 
reason.

If you really want to challenge this policy, then I suggest you post to 
debian-devel, but then you better have a very good explanation for using 
a depends on packages like kwin-x11 while systems can and do work 
perfectly fine without them.
