Thanks for the quick reply,
I was using --no-recommends, via the opkg package-manager. 
(rootfs-sandbox).

Regarding the split between RRECOMMENDS and RDEPENDS:
In my understanding, RRECOMMENDS would be when the functionality is 
optional,
RDEPENDS when dependency is hard.

To me, this seems like a hard dependency. But a definition between the 
two would be good to have
for future patches.
