I think for Enhances to be (long term) usefull it should not mean the same as suggests - Enhancing packages should not automatically be selected by a GUI, but it is an extremely usefull organization feature. Consider, all ther perl libraries could 'enhance' perl, so it would be possible to generate a list of all the perl libraries. All C -dev packages could enhance gcc, python libraries python, etc, etc. That would be IMHO very usefull, but it is not at all what Wichert is proposing. It seems to me that having Enhances mean the same thing as Suggests is really fairly useless - I can't think of a single case where it would make logical sense for dselect to automatically include some other package without the first explicitly approving of it..
