As the maintainer of a package that is now FTBFS'ing due to the pandoc
package split, I don't care much: I can easily upload fixed packages
with the additional build-dep.

As a pandoc user, I wonder what pandoc is useful for without its
default set of templates (shipped in the -data package), that are
needed AFAIK for a huge majority of usecases, so I would strongly
prefer to see a depends here instead of a recommends.

But I'm not the maintainer of pandoc.

Cheers,
