When not respecting recommends, you cannot expect package to work

I never install Recommends on my Debian machines (servers, desktop,
laptop). It's the first time I encounter such problems.
Do you dare say that it is not possible - with hand-tuning - to get
some parts of sympa working when ca-certificates is not around?
If I install SYMPA I expect that *all* parts works (not only 3 daemons
among 4).
I strongly suspect that even without changing a single line in sympa
configuration files, but only using some openssl command to generate
a certificate and a crl file for it, sympa can run fine.
Do you not agree with that?
No,
AFAIK this CA file (which expects to be a bundle of root CA certificates)
is also used by SYMPA to redistribute S/MIME encrypted messages sent by
subscribers[1].
I still don't understand why I should install a Recommend which is
needed to get a basic setup working.
The funny thing is that SYMPA depends on perl-suid and libfcgi-perl
which should probably be ‘Recommends’.
As a SYMPA maintainer, it's a bit sad that I can't fix something I
consider to be a bug.
Jonas, I don't want to fight with you about this. It seems that I can't
convince you. I prefer to focus on the other bugs to fix.
IMHO Sympa daemons should work without packages in Recommends.
And ca-certificates isn't really a problem to be depend on.
