Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.1.19
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if dpkg alerted the user to the existence of "suggested"
packages. Since not everyone takes advantage of this feature in dselect,
particularly now that apt-get makes it easy to grab a single package from
the command line, it would be nice to see a message like :
Package 'gimp' suggests (but does not require) the following packages:
freefont, sharefont, gimp-nonfree, gimp-data-extras (>= 1:1.0.0)
These packages are not marked for installation.
I am asking this feature to be added to dpkg instead of apt so that it will
be present no matter which installation method is used.
Thanks.
Rob

I don't belive this kind of verbosity belongs in the dpkg backend.
Instead I think this makes more sense in whatever frontend interface
one might be using.
As such, I'm closing this bug report.
