could we get a lint that at least warns us about the missing Recommends?
Having it in the guideline is a good start, but not every packager reads up 
here and follows the wiki daily.

Thus I suggest at least a warning in rpmlint. Most packagers should at least 
try to minimize those warnings (and as far as I've seen most do).
