The problem is that there's not a good way yet of giving packages
'Suggests'/'Enhances' tags. At the moment all we provide are packages
with either 'Requires' or nothing. The idea would be that the package
manager would ask the user which suggests/enhances to install (with
suggests selected by default).

I would agree that Firefox should show a message about it though.
