Hi Zonda,
(last off-topic message, so no need to split the thread)
You are right about that so feel free to modify build scripts and when you have a working package which use Debian recommendations and a working patch for it, commit the patch or send it to Mirek or me or other developer.

P.S.: I know I have only to introduce Recommends field and move packages names from Depends to it but I'm too lazy to do it now
