Some package systems have the concept of "recommended" or "suggested"
packages. If we had that, such dependencies could be expressed that
way.

For source builds we could add a new global option, which could be used
in packages to add the dependency.

But unfortunately that won't help for pre-built packages, since the
option would necessarily be unset.
