I've checked how this fix would concern Debian Edu:
(1) The Debian Edu Makefile has to be adjusted:
s/GENCONTROL_DEPENDS = true/#GENCONTROL_DEPENDS = true/
(2) Packages not available (any more) in testing are then correctly
demoted from Recommends to Suggests due to the $missinglist fix. (It
seems those have been wrongly kept as Recommends since the August
2017 changes.)
(3) The strong depends on gosa-plugin-netgroups needed due to Bug
#793667¹ (IMO cause for 'GENCONTROL_DEPENDS = true') are a non issue
since ages. I figure in a similar case adding information to the
Debian Edu upgrade chapter seems to be sufficient (if a smarter
solution isn't easy).
