That's on the TODO list. See http://bugs.debian.org/128331 .

They already are.
gnumeric Suggests: gnumeric-doc (not Depends: so that you don't have to have
the documentation installed if you don't want it or can't afford the space;
not Recommends: as that would be annoying to dselect users)
gnumeric-doc Suggests: gnome-help (not Depends:/Recommends: as the
documentation is readable using an alternative GNOME help browser (e.g.
Galeon), or a regular web browser).
As much as I like apt-get, I still prefer using dselect as a frontend to it,
as it points out Recommends: and Suggests: dependencies to me, and gives me
the choice whether or not to follow them.

No, but unless you can provide convincing arguments for stronger
dependencies, I'll stick to the current ones.
