Another community-driven distribution has "Recommands: " and "Suggests: "
for this purpose...
Any chance to see this one day in rpm ? (and of course, be handeled by yum,
apt, s-c-packages, synaptic, whatever...)
Two instructions are maybe too much, but one may be nice.

What do you think about that ? Way too much work ?
