Hi,

I know about pygraphviz stuck in NEW (see #399280 :-)), and noticed that
pydot entered the archive quite recently, but I didn't find time to test
it properly before considering adding python-pydot to Recommends:.

Perfectly agreed.

I don't know much about pydot, but maybe they can conflict is some way,
as they provide the same kind of functionality. Should they conflict
with eachother or something like that?

Agreed as well.
