Nope. It's exactly as it should be for packages with a collection of
small tools like e.g. debian-goodies or devscripts:
* Dependencies of all or at least most tools are in Depends.
* Hard dependencies which just appear in one or very few tools are in
Recommends. (Other tools in the package are still usable then and if you only
need them, there must to be a way to not install dependencies of the other,
unused tools.)
* Optional dependencies of any tool are just in Suggests.
Besides:
* Recommends are installed by default. As you've shown, you explicitly
need to disable them to get into that situation. And as the
documentation (at least Debian's) says: You're then on your own if
something doesn't work because of that.
* The package description explains very verbose which tool needs which
of the Recommends and Suggests.
** Changed in: debian-goodies (Ubuntu)
