Oh, I didn't know that deborphan honored suggests. I found the old lynx package on a server with low package profile, none of the packges recommending lynx were installed, aptitude wanted to deinstall it once I marked it as "auto". But I didn't check suggests. Eventually mention that it treats suggests = recommends = depends in the manpage? What about adding another nice-mode that only honors recommends (as apt does install recommends by default nowadays)?
