Not sure that promotion to main is required for that.  The zerofree
package is recommended but not required.

That recommendation came from debian bug
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472799 because someone
thought it would be useful to VMWare users looking to shrink their disk
images.  I'd argue that 'Suggests:' is a better choice as the
relationship is weak; maybe we can do that if the 'Recommends:' is
causing problems.  Or just promote zerofree is no one cares.
