(Assuming this is the package that should be mentioned in the title of
this bug report, I've retitled to match.)

Right. Those are in Recommends, so will be installed by default.

People who choose to disable the default installation of Recommends
packages, are assumed to want a package to declare in Depends only the
minimum packages that will make this package work.

The Python coverage system can be used for its main purpose without
ever generating any HTML reports; I think that satisfies Recommends
instead of Depends for the HTML support.
