FYI, this "Recommends:" is only visible via the following chain:
=====
$ dpkg-query -s dput-ng | grep python-dput
Depends: python:any, python-dput (= 1.8)
$ dpkg-query -s python-dput | grep python-paramiko
Recommends: lintian, python-distro-info, python-paramiko, python-validictory, openssh-client, debian-keyring
$
=====

There is no other information, so something should be added at least in
the manpage, here instead a full patch:
