If you feel that a package should be a suggests instead of a recommends
then file a bug! Recommends are installed by default, whereas suggests
need to be expicitly installed.

Of course, whether you need the doumentation for a package is very
subjective - at least the maintainers have taken the trouble to package
it as a separate package.

P.S. Don't kick a gift horse in the mouth.
