Ok, since you talk about the "user", I'm going to think about two
types of users then:

a) The "normal user" (whatever it means).
b) The "Debian developer". 

For the benefit of a), normal users who have an apt tool which treats
recommends as depends, I'm willing to switch cvs from suggests to
recommends.

Debian developers, however, should try building packages in a chroot,
in which case they should really read README.Debian and be aware of
what it says.

The other solution would be to put autopoint in its own package, but
that's a solution that adds complexity without a gain that compensates
for the complexity, so I'll still try to avoid it.

Thanks.
