Well... I have no strong opinion... One way would be that, *all* documentation is moved to the -doc package.. many people may have m4 just installed because other packages depend on it, so they could save some bytes. But apart from that... well I don't know,... at least a suggests shouldn't hurt, since it won't be installed automatically. Generally I think that packages should suggest their -doc packages (as most do) but your example shows that there are corner cases ;) Cheers, Chris.
