Seems you read only the introduction to the fields: The detailed
definition of the field is further down in same section:
> `Enhances'

The very purpose of "Enhances" field is, I believe, for package B (e.g.
a plugin) to state a reverse relationship on package A, to avoid needing
to update package A every time a plugin package is added to or removed
from Debian.
Kind regards,
