'Suggests' really means what it says, it's just a suggestion. If people
configure suggestions to be automatically installed, it seems to me that's their
own choice, and they will have to live with the consequences. For a nice example
of those consequences: packaging-dev recommends cmake, and cmake suggests eclipse.

In the default case, by recommending libjs-jquery, just javascript-common would
be installed additionally, which seems entirely reasonable to me.
