Yes, talking to upstream about it is a good idea and judging from the git repo it is quite active: https://github.com/ros/catkin/commits/kinetic-devel > From the tests I made, I couldn't find any difference, the messages are > probably used only to produce the bindings, but they are useless for ROS > user after. > So perhaps "Recommends" is too much.

No problem, enjoy your vocation. Btw. would you be interested to regularly work on the packages? There is still a lot that needs to be done, so we would be glad to have an other helping (and thinking ;) ) hand.
