The Depends equivalent there have type="mandatory", whereas the Recommends equivalent has type="optional" instead. There's also "conditional" that depends on which other packages and selections have been made, and are sorta complex that way:
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="openoffice.org-langpack-en">openoffice.org-core</packagereq>
