I was more thinking along the lines of automation. It might be useful
to be able to automatically take suggestions for certain packages while
not taking others.
Take a look at gnome, for example. I tend to build packages like this
unattended, because it takes several hours. To be able to specify which
suggestions to include automatically might be a plus.
