It is disabled during initial installation, but even if it wasn’t, and
even if the default installation included it, I’d still consider
removing libspectre from the dependencies a very bad idea.

We received several bug reports because of some rhythmbox plugins that
didn’t work when you don’t install the Recommends. Believe me, for
something as fundamental as PostScript support in evince, we would be
drowning under bugs.

Cheers,
