Just use Suggests (or Recommends if the style file in question is
central to the package; pdfpages and texpower are probably not).
Remember the definitions of the dependencies:
,----
| Depends
| This declares an absolute dependency. A package will not be
| configured unless all of the packages listed in its Depends field
| have been correctly configured.
|
| The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is
| required for the depending package to provide a significant amount
| of functionality.
`----
This is clearly not the relationship between collection-pdfetex and
collection-latexextra. As for the decision between Suggests and
Recommends, ask yourself whether the packages "would be found together
with this one in all but unusual installations" or not.n
