Depends: is still feasible since package description claims: "aylet
plays music files". I.e. this is "a significant amount of
functionality" which qualifies for Depends: per Debian Policy.
Suggests: is too weak, in my opinion. I'd rather use "Recommends:
oss-compat" if Depends is chosen to be avoided.
