Control: retitle -2 autodep8: don't use needs-recommends restriction

Hi all,

I have just pushed commit 9fade8dcb501250f704da9c77af1f8e6165dc941 that
documents that we want to remove the needs-recommends option as we
discussed in https://lists.debian.org/debian-ci/2018/06/msg00016.html.

It also means I will not fix this bug and I hope in the foreseeable
future we can drop this restriction.

For autodep8, which uses this in examples and and the perl generator,
this means that the script should get the list of Recommends and merge
it with the test depends. That shouldn't be too hard and makes the
current behavior more reliable already.

I'll request a Lintian check to warn against the use of this restriction.

Paul
