libexecline is a runtime requirement for s6-log if linked dynamically.
It's also a compile time requirement for roughly the same reason.
Assuming a static (or mostly static) compilation of the s6 suite,
execline is correctly marked as a recommendation.

Looking at the package in Unstable, zhs has split libexecline from
the execline binary suite and dynamically compiled things. Therefore,
installing s6 forces installation of libexecline, libskarnet, and libs6,
and recommends the execline bundle.

Cheers!
