That's why it's a Recommend. Remember that icon themes is one of the stuff which are easy to install unpackaged, so people might want to install one themselves and not install any package. Usually people will stick with the defaults, but as Recommends: are installed by default and shown if not. All in all, I don't think it should be changed. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
