I've checked how this fix would concern Debian Edu: (1) The Debian Edu Makefile has to be adjusted: s/GENCONTROL_DEPENDS = true/#GENCONTROL_DEPENDS = true/ (2) Packages not available (any more) in testing are then correctly demoted from Recommends to Suggests due to the $missinglist fix. (It seems those have been wrongly kept as Recommends since the August 2017 changes.) (3) The strong depends on gosa-plugin-netgroups needed due to Bug #793667¹ (IMO cause for 'GENCONTROL_DEPENDS = true') are a non issue since ages. I figure in a similar case adding information to the Debian Edu upgrade chapter seems to be sufficient (if a smarter solution isn't easy).
