mmhhh. I think build-dep did not show recommends/suggest in the past,
so that might be a regression in that sense already.


The reading order for the "new" column view is according to its name:
  111  4    77
  22   55   888
  3    666  9
while the "old" wall-of-text has:
  111 22 3 4
  55 666 77
  888 9

So:

I think the alternatives group might be better of written together and
then the individual columns separated with ~4 spaces like in the
future-suggested "oldname => newname" case.

The individual columns could get quiet big given package names can be
long, but that is a problem for the column display anyhow.


Anyway, I will leave it up to Julian what to do about this as this new
stuff is his baby.
