I don't recall the bug numbers, probably scattered over half a dozen binary packages. Reasons: - Licensing often requires to ship docs and runtime files together, Recommends is already a compromise which we adopted after installing Recommends became standard - We actually do want our users to have the docs installed on usual installations, so we really want Recommends. Otherwise, people will use randomly found documentation found via $search_engine, and then come complaining that the package doesn't work "as advertized".
