The real solution is to file bugs and get the maintainers to cause the
conflicts no longer to exist (and in the meantime patch them yourself if
necessary), if it isn't possible to resolve them in dselect.
Things like dselect picking up on a Suggests: line should only happen
once.

As regards Recommends: and Suggests:? Not as far as I know.
