Both. They serve different purpose.

Recommending virtual package is to indicate that the main module is 
worthless standalone (but the user might have written her own custom 
submodule or installed submodules manually, so depending is too strong.

Recommending formerly included packages is for backwards compatibility.  
It might be better depending on them, but I believe recommends is strong 
enough (with the added bonus that others _can_ avoid them if they wish).
