This could be done a new restriction preferrably, as I don't want to introduce a magic syntax into Depends: which would render it incompatible with apt. This is currently blocked as adt-run currently runs /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-classic, which doesn't allow specifying additional apt options. We have another request (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1205110) to drop the pbuilder dependency, so we could potentially do the parsing ourselves and call apt-get directly. At that point, we can also add the APT::Install-Recommends option.
