[ Impact ]

 * Updating Recommends: will allow users to only have to do `apt install phpmyadmin`
   and not end up confused on why the webpage shows PHP source code.
   Internet is filled with users asking why there is PHP code displayed.
   This update is already upstream Debian and released.

[ Test Plan ]

 * To reproduce the "Recommends:" user problem
   - new VM
   - apt install phpmyadmin
   - service apache2 start
   - browse http://localhost/phpmyadmin
   - PHP code !
   - Install `libapache2-mod-php` and restart Apache2
   - You can see the login page

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * If "Recommends:" was wrong you would be missing Apache2 by default.
   If the recommends allowed you to only have to install the package
   and you can see HTML and not PHP code, then it works.
