Like Andreas already commented, no.

Please, use RRECOMMEND unless it's vital that the package is installed
(i.e. the package A needs package B to be able to run at all). If
package B only makes it possible for package A to provide some extra
feature, do RRECOMMEND it. This makes it a lot easier for all of us who
tries to not install things that are useless. (One example in my case,
fsck is pretty useless).

And please, go through all the created packages and try to use
RRECOMMENDS as much as possible.

Cheers,
Ander
