'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. -- Matijs
