The way I see it, recommended classification should be used for:

1) dependencies that require explicit switch to disable at compile time
2) system-installed dependencies which can be used instead of bundled ones
3) dependencies that add a feature that is required to build some other 
package in the book

Everything else is either required or optional. There is nothing wrong 
with listing and explaining optional dependencies in detail or fixing 
packages to build with some optional feature.
