Now, while we're at it, Debian also has a field called "Enhances:" and IIRC
it provides a means to communicate a relationship 'the other way'. Ie a
package foo, rather than being 'pulled in' by a package bar via a Depends,
makes itself available to bar. That is useful as you can enhance the
'graph' structure without a change in the other package. Maybe that would be
of use for R too?
