I tend to agree here, and Julien has also argued the same in #599083.
I admit it's annoying that wbar doesn't work out of the box (if
Recommends are not installed) but it's not the only software that
needs configuration changes before using it, and not installing
Recommends also comes with a price ...

And at least if started from a terminal the failure isn't silent
either (IIRC).

I haven't looked at 2.3.4, but in general new upstream releases are
not the way to go during a freeze.

Yeah, might make sense if this bug is considered RC (although it also
doesn't "make it work", just the diagnostics seem to be nicer).
In case this patch is needed, it should be trimmed down (most of the
changes are removed trailing whitespaces).
