As per Debian Policy Manual, "The Depends field should be used if the
depended-on package is required for the depending package to provide a
significant amount of functionality.", while "the Recommends field
should list packages that would be found together with this one in all
but unusual installations.". It seems clear to me that these packages
should be moved to the Recommends field.
