That's pretty much the judgement call that has to be made. In the default case where someone has installed packagesearch, would they expect the file search and/or orphaned package plugins to work? You get to make a judgement one way or the other; if a significant population of your users complain that the Recommends: isn't necessary (or vice versa, that they expected the functionality not present because you made it a Suggests:) then you know that you should switch them.
