That is an accurate description of the situation. However, I rank the
blank page as a higher severity issue than you do; therefore I added
the Depends.

I'm happy to apply patches to fix the blank page bug and consequently
lower the dependency back to Recommends, but unfortunately I don't
have time in the next several weeks to work on creating this patch
myself. Sorry.
