The Recommends field is a list of dependencies as defined in the Depends field of packages that are recommended to use along this package. Although those packages are not required, not having them may end up with certain things not working as otherwise expected by the user.
The Recommends field has a higher priority than the Suggests field since suggestions are indeed optional and not expected by most users.
