How do I filter out solvables from the sat-solver decision queue that were
pulled in as recommended dependencies, or, better, prevent the solver from
considering recommended dependencies in the first place?

There's a big "do not consider recommends" switch missing in the
code (easy to implement, though). Apart from that, you have to tell
the solver in the job that you do not want a specific package.
What's planned is also a "weak don't install", so that a package can
still be pulled in by a normal requires dependency.

Cheers,
Michael.
