Packages are free to suggest whatever the maintainer wishes; I wouldn't even consider it a particularly serious bug if the suggested package did not exist at all. If this really bothers you, write the two-line patch for apt-get to have it suppress display of suggested/recommended packages that are not available with your list of sources, and submit it as a wishlist bug against apt. Since you presumably do not have any non-free sources in your sources.list, this would prevent you from seeing these packages. -- - mdz
