Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  According to the specification, if package A recommends or suggests
  package B, then package B should show up as an addon of package A in
  Software Center. This isn't happening. A specific example is
  wesnoth-1.8 which recommends wesnoth-1.8-music.

  If it's not desired to show all recommended or suggested packages as
  addons, then the specification needs to be updated so that packagers
