I found the right option in the apt changelog, it's called
APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant.
,----
| apt (0.8.15.3) unstable; urgency=low

So the default behavior has indeed changed in Wheezy.
And for aptitude there is this in the Debian changelog:
,----
| aptitude (0.5.9rc1-1) experimental; urgency=low
|
| * New upstream release.
| [...]
| - Document that the "standard" apt options
| Apt::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant and
| Apt::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant should be used instead of
| Aptitude::Keep-Suggests and Aptitude::Keep-Recommends.

I can confirm that setting Aptitude::Keep-Suggests has no effect, but
setting APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant does.
Cheers,
Sven
