True, grave bug. Will you change that later?

Hmm, I've just read the policy:
Suggests
This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with
one or more others. Using this field tells the packaging system
and the user that the listed packages are related to this one and
can perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that installing this one
without them is perfectly reasonable.
The user could guess that pfb2t1c2pfb enhances cm-super, which is
not really the case.
Just a remark.
