This wasn't a good idea. In order to be consistent, you'd have to elevate every one of devscripts' Suggests to a Depends, as they're all there because one of its scripts uses it; then its dependencies would be massive.

Most of the Suggests were elevated to Recommends in Debian releases since Hardy, so I'm going to drop this change.
