Well, I'd argue that the message is correct.
The Policy allows Suggests against non-existing packages, so the
situation is alright, but you are in fact suggestion a package that is
outside of the "main" debian archive.
Even if debcheck learnt about the debian-debug archive, I'd still
consider a package from the main archive having Suggests to a package
from the debug archive something weird.
