There are circular dependencies between luckybackup and luckybackup-data.
That could create problems and it's best to be avoided.
luckybackup-data can "live" on its own, so either should be fine:
- there's no need for "Recommends: luckybackup"
- drop the dependency to "Enhances: luckybackup" (probably depend on the
binary/source version too?)

Hello Savvas,
first thanks for your report and trying to make Debian better. :-)
But I have to close your report, because it is not a circular dependency
as written in Debian policy 7.2. The problem with circular depends are
at the dpkg part, not apt{itude}, and dpkg does not care about recommends.
Cheers.
