Yes, we could do this. Please know that you will have many missing
features (or added bugs) if you disable installing recommends. You
likely won't know why things aren't working because the missing
recommends may be far down the dependency stack like it was in this
case. Most Debian Developers do not disable recommends which means it
is not really a tested configuration. You're on your own then. Good
luck!
