Hi Andreas,

I think (in the sense of: I thought about the issue and decided to
got that way at that time), that it is more appropriate to recommend
than to depend on python.  The contrib scripts are not in the standard
path for that reason.  When skipping recommended packages, only the
core functionalities are guaranteed, which is the case here because
the contrib scripts are accessory.

Have a nice day,
