era, As I understand the documentation, this isn't an opinion thing. If the package does not operate without the other package, it is a depend, not a recommend. Below is my source for this information. If I misunderstand you, please correct or tell me how to use this package without the recommended package.
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch- relationships.html#s-binarydeps "The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required for the depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality." "The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations.
