Ok, you are right :) Looks like when i tested this i had a Conflicts
there while i thought i had already removed it. Maybe i forgot to run
apt-get update before, i don't know.
Very ashamed i move it back to Recommends where it belongs and thanks
for spotting this mistake (and teaching me).

Cheers,
