Nope, the policy used in devscripts to discern between what to put as
dependency and what to put as a recommendation is based on the
"important" and "common usage" of the tools requiring it.
reproducible-check is after all a minor script within the whole
devscripts, so it will stay in Recommends only.
I'll add a check on reproducible-check to avoid the traceback and
instead provide an error message with instructions to install
python3-xdg, as it's done in other programs.
