I completely agree, I also acknowledged this fact:
" 2/ the archive is cluttered of incorrect usage of Recommends instead
of Suggests "
Of course, all of us understand that this is a pain, but a separate
problem to deal with when synaptic is fixed (and fixing synaptic helps
"pressuring" maintainers to fix their deps).

I don't understand the exact ways in which synaptic relies on apt, but
I still acknowledged that fact:
" I'll let the synaptic maintainer either work around the problem at
the synpatic level or cascade the problem on the apt-get package. "

This is exactly how I would have seen it too.

That you have some special eyes reading my mind and are a nice
discussion moderator.
