The definition of the Recommends field, according to Debian policy, is:

"The Recommends field should list packages that would be found
together with this one in all but unusual installations. "

I wouldn't say it's unusual to have LyX installed without
texlive-latex-extra. Although I agree that it's very unfortunate that
integrals don't work without it. Maybe this bug should be reassigned
to texlive, and esint asked to be moved to texlive-latex-recommended
or texlive-fonts-recommended or something.
