How are recommends not enforced properly?  They are installed if the
user chooses to install recommends, and not installed if the user
doesn't want them.

I don't think totem-mozilla is high-quality enough to be included with
gnome.  It's unstable, unpolished, and slow, and I would strongly
prefer to just watch videos with an external player.  Having gnome
depend on it also prevents people from choosing mozilla-mplayer, but I
don't think it needs to depend on either of them.

Thanks,
