It's meant to be handled by this chunk of code, and I'm fairly sure that
this used to work reliably.  Has that part of opkg changed recently?

                    /* user request overrides package recommendation */
                    if (satisfying_pkg != NULL
                        && (compound_depend->type == RECOMMEND ||
compound_depend->type == SUGGEST)
                        && (satisfying_pkg->state_want == SW_DEINSTALL
|| satisfying_pkg->state_want == SW_PURGE)) {
                         opkg_message (conf, OPKG_NOTICE, "%s: ignoring
recommendation for %s at user request\n",
                                       pkg->name, satisfying_pkg->name);
                         continue;
                    }
