How shall I report a bug in the .deb packaging itself?

The point I do not understand is why after removing A, being A the only 
that recommends B from all the packages installed by the user, B is 
still considered needed.

Is it because a previously installed package recommends B but didn't 
install it? Or because the new set up makes the dependency tree to 
recommend itself?
