Ah, I see. From the point of view of the packager or developer, menu-xdg 
enhances kdelibs-bin, because menu-xdg relates to /usr/bin/kde-menu, 
which is provided by kdelibs-bin. But from the point of view of the end 
user, kicker provides the K menu, and it is noticeably altered by 
menu-xdg. Thus it should Suggest menu-xdg as well.

According to this rationale, kdelibs should document the details of how it 
all works and why a separate package (menu-xdg) is now needed. Kicker 
should explain to the end-user what the Suggest will do for them, either 
in the package description or a README.Debian (or both).

Cheers,
Chris
