Yes, we could do this. Please know that you will have many missing features (or added bugs) if you disable installing recommends. You likely won't know why things aren't working because the missing recommends may be far down the dependency stack like it was in this case. Most Debian Developers do not disable recommends which means it is not really a tested configuration. You're on your own then. Good luck! Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
