blend-gen-control sets unavailable packages as Suggests.

However, apt currently keeps packages installed if they are listed as
Suggests of another package. I am concerned that this could mean that
users could have a package installed that used to be supported
previously in Debian and now is unable to receive any security support
because the package is not in Debian any more.

Perhaps apt's default behavior is unwise. I haven't investigated when
apt started treating installed Suggests like this.

Thank you,
