What is it that doesn't make sense to you? Is it that you don't agree
that the current situation violates policy or that you just don't want
to change it?
The specific case in which I discovered this problem is that installing
pbhoney gets all of networkx's unnecessary recommends. If you do
no-install-recommends to avoid the unnecessary recommends, you don't get
pbhoney's legitimate recommends of pbdagcon and unnecessarily use the
inferior built-in fallback implementation.
If I made pbdagcon a hard dependency, then you would not be able to
install pbhoney in a situation where pbdagcon isn't available without
making a dummy package using equivs.
What functionality of *networkx* is affected when its recommends are not
installed? If the answer is nothing, which it seems to be, then they
definitely don't belong in recommends.
