(Get the code!)
Recommends is installed by default, so a user installing prboom will automatically get freedm as well. I could understand the concern if this was being made Suggests, but the user has to go out of their way to remove packages with Recommends.
These packages are not _required_ for prboom because, as the bug description states, you may use prboom with any wad file. Using Depends would be fine if all wad files came in deb packages, but it's a common use case for a user to obtain a wad from a CD.
I'm a bit unsure about what to do here, so it would be great to hear from antiNeo and others about this.
