If we reified extras
(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2015-October/027364.html),
and added support for weak "Recommends/Suggests" dependencies
(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2016-February/028258.html),
then those two features together would give you what you want (as well
as solving a variety of other problems).
