A good example to test this is gnumeric

To me, Gnumeric looks like an example of why this would be undesirable. gnumeric Recommends: evince | evince-gtk, lp-solve, and gnumeric-doc. And you might reasonably want to install Gnumeric without any of those three. (It seems lp-solve currently isn't displayed only because openoffice.org-calc Depends: on it.)

Either Recommends: is just a synonym for Depends:, or it isn't. If it is, then it will seem redundant to new developers, making packaging unduly complicated. If it isn't, then we can report and fix inappropriate Recommends: values in existing packages, in the same way that we've been fixing bad package titles and descriptions.

Thanks for your work on this!

I still mark this as rejected for now as mpt disagrees with the design. Sorry for that and looking forward for more branches from you :)

Happy new year,
