Bug#809383: mention explicitly double listing: Depends, Recommends, Suggests

If I am a policeman, do I notify people about things that don't violate
the law? What if the person who I notify asks me "did I violate any
laws?" What am I to answer? "I don't know"?

Can I answer "No you are not. I am just telling you anyway."

I can't even say that, because I don't know.
