I interpret that as there really is no bug here;

Suppressing recommendations is meant for exotic use-cases and therefore 
suppressing multiple recommendations quite likely leads to a broken 
unsupportable result.

Beware that mmdebstrap suppresses recommends by default.

mmdebstrap is not doing anything wrong: it is a powerful tool which can 
do powerful good or powerful breakage depending on how it is used.
